wowzers

what a wedding! even in my most hopeful moments, i couldn't imagine that it would be *that* good. i have memories of noa spinning me around so fast amongst grinning faces that i thought i would go into orbit; my new younger brother yelling, "you only get to do this once! don't let it stop!!!"; anita telling me that i gave new meaning to circling the groom; my advisor in lipstick making fishy faces with two of my labmates; almost falling during the chair dance - twice; laughing as larry and eddie danced with the energy of four year old boys; watching my three exboyfriends dance and bow, love so evident on their faces; singing "son of a rabbi-man" to my father-in-law as we danced; miryana losing her voice; the face on my mum as she was hoisted in a chair, her arms upraised in exultation; my dad's hand appearing with a handkerchief while zack spoke to me; throwing back my head and screaming "WOOHOO!!!" again and again and again. it was awesome - in the true meaning of that word.

I almost lost my voice too...it was great. And it was the first wedding where I really almost cried not even 2 minutes into it. And I was the 4th person who came up to you and said, I wish I were Jewish so I could have a wedding like that.

Congrats on everything, Mad!!
