I went to one of my best friend’s wedding last weekend. It was amazing, and reminds me again how one should not settle. You forget how great life can be when you’re surrounded by such mediocrity all the time. It infects you and then one day good enough is better than you expect.
He is one of the finest people I know. His family is as good as any I have ever met and they breed an atmosphere of love, support, and dignity. It is immediately apparent that when you are with the Rogers family that you should be on your best behavior. Their behavior demands it of you. They make you a better person.
He married a girl that is kind, beautiful and lady-like…..almost like a princess. Her family is as good as his.
I was a groomsman. I hadn’t previously met some of the other people in the wedding. They were all great people and I am sorry I do not live nearer to them. I feel like I’m missing out on new friends.
I took several buses out to Westport, MA from the Boston airport for the wedding. The difference between the people I watched in the bus station and the people I met in Westport was frightening. There is such a disparity. I know human nature dictates we can’t all be the same, but I wish it weren’t so much so and believe we can close that gap.
Their wedding was almost 4 days of idyllic beach settings, great food and wonderful people. They went to Tahiti the next day on their honeymoon. If you think storybook weddings between two beautiful people, joining two great families is a fantasy and only happens in old books, you are wrong.
Most of the time good enough is simply not good enough.
Here is a picture of the groomsmen:
