you’re gonna get a big surprise

18Sep11

My best friend got married yesterday.  I had the opportunity to watch his face when he said his vows.  I have never heard him say anything so confidently.  I remember a long time ago when he told me he had lost all hope that he would get married, and had resigned himself to a life of solitude.  After some prodding he took a chance with a very special woman (and let me say for the record, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen up close) and the rest was history.  I wish I had the ability to express what I would like to, but I can say only this:  In a short span of years I have had the challenge and the pleasure of seeing remarkable loneliness and unspeakable joy in his eyes.  If you saw him yesterday, you would also believe that real love is possible, out there, and somehow available to you.
