Last night, I had the honor of attending my sorority Little’s wedding. A great time was had by all, and I was beyond touched to watch her marry her best friend and true love. It made me all mushy gushy inside. I was able to set aside the constant swirl of wedding to-dos in my mind and concentrate on what this wedding was all about: Jeymie and Mike’s love for each other. My sorority sisters and I had a great time catching up and realizing how fast the two years since graduation have gone.
But now that we’re back home, wedding brain is back. And I’m starting to feel like this.
