I really dislike how much money Americans spend on weddings and how crazy the brides (and their mothers) get about the whole day. You can spend $20,000 or $20. The result is the same. At the end of the day, you're still married. The wedding is about the couple and the commitment they're making, not about the fucking centerpieces, the votives or the color of the bridesmaid dresses. Ugh. It makes me roll my eyes just thinking about it.
With that said, something happens to me when I'm sitting in the audience and the bride starts walking down the aisle with her father/mother/guardian and I turn back around to the front and catch the look on the groom's face as he sees his bride coming toward him. I lose it. Like just completely lose it. It happens at every fucking wedding, even movie and TV weddings (don't even get me started on Monica and Chandler's wedding).
And when I see videos like this one, I start to cry as well. Not because I feel lonely and "Golly gee, I wish I could have that, too." But because it makes me so happy to see such an out-pouring of love. Everyone deserves to have this much love in their lives.
