when we left the wedding chapel last sunday, a family had arrived for that evening’s wedding — an hour and a half early — wanting to see the bride.

i do *not* want anyone outside the wedding party and my parents seeing me before the ceremony. i think it takes away from the buildup of seeing the bride as she walks down the aisle. so, i have come up with a solution. i am going to ask my friend dave “the buddha” leonard to stand outside the bridal room door and block anyone from coming in. picture a big sri lankan with his arms crossed. i think it would work. it would make me think twice!
