saturday evening we attended the wedding of a girl and guy i used to work with back in my retail days. it really throws me for a loop when consider the fact that i knew both the bride an groom, when they were in High School. i'm not quite sure why, but i cried a little at the ceremony and when the groom played guitar and sang Edwin McCain's I'll Be to his new bride at the reception, i lost it: Niagra Falls.when did this happen? when did i become that guy that cries during movies, while reading a novel, or watching a long distance calling plan commercial? i used to be a stoic and unfeeling. things didn't make me cry; i made people cry. i've brought this up before, but lately (the last six months?) i've been feeling it a bit more. romantic/sappy/emotional stuff that used to make me roll my eyes 5 years ago, now reduces me to a teary-eyed schmuck.
now, i'm not blaming Stephen and our relationship, but i never felt this way before i met him...
can love do that? can it really open up the flood gates of bottled up emotions?

It DOES make you sappy! You start to identify with all the little love moments you see and read about and compare/contrast them to your life and experiences.I have said my vows to Jeffrey six times and never fail to cry before getting all the way through, I can never see a decent love scene without tearing up and universe help me if I have to watch someone's teary monologue about the pain of losing their one true love...I'm a regular Sally Fields ala every movie she's in...embrace it you love sick schmuck!!!!
Yes love can do that to you. Sadly it can also make people look like idots and sing at their own weddings. How dreadfully tacky. I do everything I can not to laugh at people who sing at their own weddings. I don't care how much talent you have - a wedding (even your own) is not "open mic" night. Please, please, please tell me you and Stephen won't do this? You must promise me now.
i can honestly say, it wasn't tacky in the slightest. it was simply his way of re-affirming their vows. there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
and no, there will be no singing at our affair.
i'm more partial to interpretive dance.
totally off topic but did ya like her makeup? heheheheh I woulda cried too, for the same reasons ive know both since HS etc etc
confession...tears roll down whenever i read a good Nicholas Sparks novel.
