The four or five hundred guests would all agree with me that it was worth money, to witness their love, to hear the music, the words spoken, just to be part of it. 

 It was a powerful spiritual experience for me.

I have not looked at the photos yet, only opened one of the many memory cards that I filled and picked a few from that one card. 

 This little girl was smiling and waving at me during the ceremony, showing me her tube of lip gloss and so on.  I saw Coco in her, I saw Coco in every little girl, and Jeff and Eti in every little boy, I missed them so much.  But this little girl especially, I was smitten.

So guess who I made a bee line for right after the ceremony?

three hours later at the reception the Grandmother walked by me holding her hand and said "I was talking to my Granddaughter and asked her 'what was you favorite part of the wedding and she said 'getting my picture taken."

I knelt down and said "Oh honey I loved that part as well!" and we blew kisses at each other and when Grandmother walked away she was twisting around still smiling at me.
