Awwww!

So Shopgirlove took lunch at 4:00 in order to witness her friend's wedding. (Thankfully escaping the woman maintaining that Joe and Valerie Wilson are "thrilled" with the publicity they've gotten from the Libby case. Yoiks!) We met at the local City Hall where we paced and embraced and swallowed our nerves. Finally, we went in. The ceremony was so intimate and lovely. Shopgirlove cried, of course...the vows were short but deep, very much about the role of friends in this marriage and the role of this marriage for their friends. (Something I had not thought of in my meta-analysis.) We adjourned to a local pub and hoisted several l'chaims in honor of the union. All in all, Shopgirlove can't help but think that modern love has a chance despite the odds. As they say in Jamaica, "may like find like".
Happy Valentine's Day!
