nini's wedding
Oct. 11th, 2005 11:14 ami flew to dc on friday. i got back yesterday morning.
what a fantastic weekend.
and now nini is married.
the wedding was absolutely fantastic--huge as nini has not so much a family as a clan. and alan's people aren't exactly few in number.
but the ceremony was really awesome. they wrote it all themselves; there was singing, playing and reading by various bridal attendants and groomsmen, and the groom's brother performed the ceremony itself. and there was crying and happiness.
and then lots of dancing, though i hid upstairs for part of it because between jetlag, cold and being on the go all day i was about ready to collapse. but a couple hours of sleep in the bride room and i recovered to dance when they started playing the punk, electronica and otherwise especially shiny music (the more traditional wedding fare occurred earlier, when all the relatives were about.
the best part of being a bridesmaid was getting to spend all saturday with nini and the other bridesmaids, as the madness would certainly have meant very little time with her if i was just a guest.
plus i got to see rose lots. and with amy appearing as a guest, that's 4 of the 5 girls from our original highschool RP troupe. seems so long ago that nini was our sadistic GM bent on breaking her players' heads.
didn't know most of the people there but those i did were largely very good friends (and their SOs. all my friends from highschool and boy- or girlfriends in attendance. made me miss![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
urizen rather. meep.)
but yeah.
nini's married.
this was the first friend's wedding i've attended. one of my friend's from college did get married last year when i was in the UK, but they married right after graduation and so were quite young and it didn't seem quite so much like my peer group was growing up. i have loads of friends who are married, but they're all older than me and were married when i first knew them (though that said, congratulations to heather & ross as well!)
but there's something very surreal about a girl i knew in highschool becoming, as she put it, a "mrs." makes me wonder who'll be next. everyone's got serious relationships. amy and kathy just need to get the money together (being as they're wedding would be purely for emotional reasons they opted to be practical and buy a house first), but rose and chris might always decide to actually have a ceremony... it makes my head spin. i usually feel quite young, which is rather am compared to most of the people i hang out with. and nini is 3 years older than me. but i've always thought of her as a peer, as my generation.
and she's married.
i saw it happen.
wow.
