My best friend found the love of her life at the age of 40. (Actually, they dated 12 years ago, but she wanted to go to Graduate School in another state, he didn't want her to so they broke up. But he was the only man she ever loved. They hadn't talked all these years. Last October, her sister told my friend she ran into him at Republican headquarters, and that he was running for some State seat. My friend found his website and innocently wrote him a note of support for his election bid. He wrote back. Turns out he never found anyone else either, because he always loved her. Now the two soulmates will finally be together, isn't that romantic?) Instead of having a big wedding, which she could have if she wanted, she invited my husband and me to meet them in Colonial Williamsburg on December 17th to witness their vows. It'll just be the four of us. I think it will be the most beautiful wedding I'll ever see. (I'm wiping a tear from my eye right now!)
I would forego big occasions and use it on a house/condo.
Yes that makes me weepy too. ~snif~ You will have a fabulous time. Williamsburg is beautiful at Christmas I hope it snows for you. We used to live in Yorktown VA.
Great story about your friends, especially in the light of Jenn and John's debacle.
