This side of "I do"

The other night our fun and adorable new friends, Lisa and Devin, were married and we celebrated with games and dancing and food and now they are at the coast enjoying their honeymoon.

My sister Suzanne, who's wedding in scheduled for this March, wrote on Facebook recently how much she's looking forward to her wedding a honeymoon... And I'm sayin', "Tom, I want to get married."

"Too late."

When Tom and I got married I know I spent forever pouring over the possibilities of the wedding - much longer than the 6 months we were engaged. I thought about my wedding my whole life! And while I loved the flowers, loved the food, the photographer, the friends who came and the fact that Lane actually made my dress like we dreamed she would, it all went by so fast and I barely remember it. When the time came ALL I wanted was for it to go by so fast and just be MARRIED (and also, not planning, because that I found stressful). Food, friends, flowers, photographer and farmhouse getaway were the items on the agenda - everything else was bare bones. And I absolutely loved our wedding... I guess I just want to do it again.

I know that, faced with that possibility, once really is enough and I'd ask the genie for a spa treatment instead. But, geez, I don't know, I guess the grass just looks green from here!

The good news is a second honeymoon (kinda) might not be totally out of the question in the future - if we play our cards right. This summer Tom's cousin is getting married and I'm hoping we can lodge at another charming bed and breakfast, this time in Seattle, where I've never been before. I think we'll have to pay to stay either way so we might as well live out my ever-present fantasy of old furniture, warm scones and someone else cleaning up.

I guess I'll survive 'til the summer (probably longer if I have to). And I am so happy for the new couple and wish as much romance and comfort for them as I do for myself.

Plus I have this:

every day, forever. How can I think of more to want?
