This past weekend I conducted my first weeding while flying solo. I have help with some others and officiated parts of my friends weddings, but this was the first where I was THE guy. I have come to love weddings because of the shared experience of life and the rich stories that are told about the couple and the way that they are able to begin their lives together. Perhaps the most powerful thing for me in the weekend was the way that I was incorporated into the celebration. The stories that were shared and the people that I met. I was able to gain such a wonderful perspective on the two families that are now becoming one. It was such a cool thing. It was awesome to be part of the start of something new and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for Whitney and Patrick….
