A complete dichotomy of thought
Apr. 6th, 2008 10:40 pmToo tired to look up "dichotomy" to make sure that I spelled and used it correctly.
Went to my cousin's wedding tonight. Fun, but tiring. Very non-traditional in a number of ways, and will write up a little about some of the neat things they did at some point, but just wanted to share the following bit.
As much as my wife and I are completely in tune with each other's thoughts sometimes, there are those others... At one point during the pre-ceremony family picture rigamarole, with trying to herd cats, er, relatives together, and wait for someone else, and greet the people coming in, and ... and ... and ... etc.
I looked deep into my wife's loving eyes, and the thought flashes through my mind, "Boy, am I glad we already did all of this!"
We smile contentedly at each other, and as I open my mouth to share this thought, she looks around, then looks back up to me and says, wistfully, "Can we do this again?"
