It’s odd to think that I had to get married in order to participate in a wedding. I had several friends and family take the plunge well before I did, but, I was never a part of the wedding itself.
Well, it changes tomorrow as one of my best friends on the planet, John, walks that aisle, and I will be up there as a groomsman.
I must say that in some respects, I barely remember all of the preparation/pre-wedding stuff that happened with us back in January (combination of nerves, sickness, etc.)
I think it will be interesting to see the whole wedding thing from the inside without being THE top active participant (at least on the guys’ side).
Hopefully, it will be a fun time of internal reflection to remember the fun I had a few months ago and continue to have with Melanie.
It’s a special time, and hopefully that sentiment will be only strengthened after the next 48 or so hours.
Until then, I’m a busy boy! Rehearsal tonight, followed by the dinner, followed by one final night of freedom for John. Tomorrow morning, weather permitting, I have a softball doubleheader, followed by riding around to get where we’re going, getting ready, then it’s the wedding, followed by the cocktail hour, followed by dinner, followed by probably not a lot of sleep time.
Get all that?
