That Look
I went to another wedding this weekend for a girl (codename: The Other One) that I’ve known since middle school. It was a wonderful wedding and I had a lot of fun. I’m beginning to think that my favorite part of weddings is not the dresses or the reception but watching the groom as he sees his bride for the first time all dressed up during the actual wedding ceremony. That look is almost indescribable. It’s like sheer joy rolled into extreme happiness with a healthy dose of excitement and a heaping spoonful of wonder. I think that a lot of times, it can be hard to see love or to describe it but that look is love in its most undiluted form.
I was in a wedding the weekend before for one of my best friends in the whole world (I have yet to write about that trip, which was amazing btw). I was the Maid of Honor and it was absolutely amazing to watch how much my friend’s new husband loves my friend. That look says everything. To be able to see that kind of unabashed love is so awesome.
I’m quite convinced that one can’t fake a look like that.
In other news, it hit me in a big way that the Architect’s and my wedding is only a bit less than six weeks away. In exactly six weeks, we will already be on the second day of our honeymoon

I agree, there is something about the expression of love that you can feel at a wedding that cant be matched!
This post was so … happy. And I am happy *for* you!
You are so right about “the look”. It’s totally a male thing. My husband started crying when I walked down the aisle, which made me cry, so we were both sniffling during the ceremony, and I was trying to delicately slip the handkerchief (my “something old”) out of the family bible (my “something borrowed”) that I was carrying. All the brides in my mother’s family have carried it, and, at the time, none had divorced yet.
Six weeks?? It will fly by! Are you ready?
I can still remember watching Hubby’s face when he recited his vows. It was one of the few times I have seen him cry. That look is one of a kind.
I saw that look at the wedding I went to over the weekend. And I’m sure The Architect will be looking at you that way in a few weeks.
Wow! That came up so fast!!!!
And you’re right. That look just says it all.
I have to experience “that look” again. I miss it =/
The Look = Ryan Tedder. The entry reminded me of that song =)

Congrats
OMG, I am obsessed with seeing that look on the groom’s face. It’s priceless.
Your wedding six weeks away: AHHHHHHHH. So excited for you! Please live blog from the reception lol.
Wow, the big day is approaching real soon! Speaking of weddings, I like Chelsea Clinton’s wedding dress.
Well – 3 weddings so close together and the 3rd one will be YOURS ! YAY. So looking forward to the Pics !
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Yes the admirative look of the groom equals the grace of the bride .
I hope we will have the opportunty to get beautiful photos of your wedding in 6 weeks ( and even a short video ?? )

Michel
Are you getting a bit nervous? Like others have said, I am looking forward to wedding photos too:)
I have seen that look on your face Meg. I have it in my files, and I am going to post it in a couple of weeks just before you get married. Your look had made me write a poem about it. Do you remember? It is etched on my brain. If it is ok with you, I really would like to post it again.
@der_lila_Stern - I love that feeling! It’s beautiful!

@mynewlife1126 - You’re telling me! Our engagement is going to end up being a total of a year, a month and one day. It really flew by.
@stupid_systemus - I’ve been to three weddings so far this summer so I’ve gotten to see the look a lot recently <3
@Roadlesstaken - Never heard of it! I’ll have to look it up.
@BoureeMusique - I think that it’s about as close to magic as one can realistically get to.

@grannyinboxers - I’m not nervous about the idea of getting married (I couldn’t be more ready for that) but I’m a little nervous about pulling off all that we have planned for the wedding.
@ZSA_MD - That’s totally fine with me. I would love that!!!
Yup, that’s the best part of a wedding!
Wow, congrats on the upcoming marriage!
