So this weekend Rob got married! Since he is reading this I won't talk about how awful it was. Just kidding Rob it was great! You are Jamie will be so happy!
Ok so John was my date for the wedding. After things went downhill I heavily debated whether I should bring him or not. Was it going to be too hard? Should I cut all ties completely? Would it be more difficult to give up one more thing we had planned? In the end, yes, he came. I have had multiple plans canceled since we're not together and it seemed best to just keep one thing happy and deal with the "what now" after the wedding. And I think it was the right decision. Some of my old coworkers were there, but I would not have had as good a time if John hadn't been there. It was good to have someone to talk to and stuff. Since it was a small affair I wasn't just mingling around cute single boys.
The wedding was perfectly simple. On the farm. The vows were said under a tree. There were ducks wandering around. John fought for male dominance with a turkey. Just family and close friends. It was great. To quote John "That was the best wedding I've ever been too. That's how I'd do a wedding." (me: Uh yeah, that's pretty much what we said we were debating whether to get married or not! A wedding that would have taken place the day before, mind you! but let's not go there.)
One thing that stood out to me was Rob talking about going to his brother's wedding and having never known a love like what he saw between that couple. Until he met his bride. I totally teared up! B/c of course, I had felt the kind of love I was witnessing. And had believed it would be forever, but it wasn't. And as I'm making myself not cry, John reached over and grabbed my hand. Which in a way was exactly what I needed at that moment. But also, what the heck dude?!
