Wedding Wows

As I type, two of my friends are dancing away at their wedding reception. They met during that same fateful USAC election that brought Alex and I together. Today also marks the day that one of my friends at law school, who I met over the summer because she is also from California, got engaged to her boyfriend who was visiting this weekend.

It feels like today, I've been in constant disbelief because of both of these events. For different reasons of course. I have a few friends who are married but this is the first marriage where I have seen the whole relationship develop from the very beginning. And the disbelief from my newly engaged friend naturally is the shock from sudden news. I saw them this morning at a BBQ and I had no idea he was going to propose today; I'm sure she didn't have any idea.

I don't want anyone to think that this a bad disbelief. Not at all. I'm genuinely very happy for both of these couples and I'm sad I didn't have the time or money to make it out to the West Coast for the wedding. I think a lot of people mistaken shock for a bad thing when shock may stem from being in awe of something great. But wow, what a happy day.

And since I can't write anything in here without people being suspicious of myself, I'll just say that just because I'm happy for my friends doesn't mean anything like this is going to be happening to me any time soon. This actually puts me in the majority of America. A New York Times story just wrote about how the census shows that out of all American households, married couples are, for the first time, in a minority. By minority, they mean 49.7, but I thought it was funny how it was their front page news. And I'll leave this entry at that since I'm not one for divulging my love life online.
