So as I was sitting at home after doing absolutely nothing for about two weeks I realized that today was Kate Behrenwald's Wedding. I don't usually forget things like this, but I didn't even know Kate was engaged until it popped up on my facebook feed that she had found THE dress. Didn't even know she was dating anybody. ANYWAY. I looked at the clock and it was around 2:34. I got to thinking how Kate and Mark must feel. Are they nervous? Are they excited? Are they just a shell of mixed up emotions that they can't let out? What's going through their heads right now? And at the wedding. Is it bad to think that I thought the bride's sister was prettier? I mean yeah Kate had the dress. Kate had the vows. But the only thing special I noticed about Kate was the dress. It was an awesome dress don't get me wrong. And Kate was 112% beautiful in it. But there was just something about her sister that awed me. Maybe it's the fact that Kate's younger than she is. Maybe it was how composed she was and how pretty she looked knowing that this was her baby sister's special day. That her sister was entering into a commitment that she hadn't. Knowing that, on one hand, she couldn't really help her sister all that much. And I know that this is just me talking and I could be wrong about everything but I know that if my younger sister got married before me I'd be a wreck. Especially if I had to be in the wedding. I know it's all about God's timing but sometimes Human Nature gets the best of us. And what's the deal with weddings anyway. Mark and Kate's wedding was less than 15 minutes long. It took longer to get a seat than it took for the ceremony! Why all the planning? I know this is a special day but it just doesn't make sense to me? And why all the pressure. I'm 17 years old and I was getting asked again and again when they'd be attending my wedding and what I had planned. OF course maybe that's how Kate's sister feels. Why the pressure. What does it matter if my baby sister gets married first? On one hand I understand. On the other hand I don't at all. This brings to mind a quote I like:
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
Interpret that please!
