Today I went to my third wedding of this year. This one was between my stepsister Crystal and her longtime boyfriend Russel Joy, whom I knew from high school. It was great to not be in the wedding party this time, and all I had to wear was 'something nice,' which was nothing more than slacks and long-sleeve shirt and a tie.

My sister and I got to the ceremony just in time and it was a beautiful Catholic ceremony. I didn't necessarily understand all the ritual but it was beautiful nonetheless. The reception afterwords was fantastic! If there was ever a large wedding that could be pulled off wonderfully, this was it. In fact, I'd say that I enjoyed this wedding the most- I asked so many more women to dance today than I ever had before. The food was great, the fellowship was awesome, and I had a delightful time.

My other stepsister made a dark prediction though: She said that she was told that once one of the kids gets married, the rest get married within five years. FAT CHANCE THAT! I don't see myself getting married anytime soon, so much for that prediction.
