CRYING AT STRANGERS' WEDDINGS

I'm a sucker for emotion. Even after the 30th watch on a long edit, these weddings can make me cry! A certain facial expression, a choked-back word, a really honest speech, can bring on the eyeball mist! I am always particularly impressed by good speeches. I love the bravery of someone standing up in a room full of people and saying something honest. Their family and friends are rapt, eating up every word. I love how everyone has stopped what they're doing to spend a day listening to each other.

I only wish we did it more! Although we have graduations, birthday parties, anniversaries, engagement parties, baby showers, how often do we tap Into the true emotion of them? Give a speech or just say a few words to the people we love? It's really hard but it’s amazing and it makes everyone feel like they’ve part of something really special.
