So i had the most amazing weekend, I was part of something so beautiful, part of a great memory, part of a lovely friendship. It was a friend's wedding, a wedding that resulted in great new friendships being formed & reinforced old ones. The photos suggest that we looked like angels, we indeed felt like angels. We shared excitement, laughter, memories, we shared craziness too. It is 4 days later now & all we have are photos, a thousand photos, lovely memories, we made sure to capture every moment, never mind that there was a photographer assigned & paid to do that, we had to do our own photography, one that wd allow us to access the photos immediately & boy didn't we do it thoroughly. I'm sure we taught the hired photographer a thing or two about photoshoot, poor guy had to capture some of those crazy moments, i doubt he has had to capture such. Which leads me to the Ipad, i love that gadget, takes the worst photos when the lighting isn't good, but with good natural light, the gadget takes brilliant photos and the one thing i love the most is that u can take as many photos as u want without it needing that looooong turnaround time that ur normal camera will need, hence u're able to capture the important moments quickly. That gadget exchanged so many hands, yep, whenever we felt the need to have a moment captured with us in it, we just gladly handed it to someone and politely uttered the words "please take a photo of us, just click here, click as many times as possible", yeah, i'm kinda used to making such requests, the request is of course always accompanied by faith, faith that the person clicking actually knows where to focus, faith that the person clicking has actually included ur face in that photo, faith that the person's hands won't be shaking so that the photo is clear, yep it is always by faith.
One thing i'm happy about is being able to just be happy with my equally crazily happy friends without having to make excuses about it. Just pure clean fun, fooling around, no seriousness, just fun, relaxing, childlike fun. At first i'm sure those watching us were thinking, this can't be real, those ladies can't be seriously be sitting on the floor with their fancy dresses, wait a minute, yeeep, they r sitting allright, wait wait wait, that wasn't the worst of it, but slowly some of them joined us for our crazy photoshoot. The bride was happy to comply too, & boy didn't she just look amazing. You would actually be amazed how amazingly beautiful those photos r, unique yes, but definitely beautiful and on another level. forget the pout, forget the model like poses, this is just sheer brilliance. It is one thing to sit & recall the happenings of the weekend which of course lead to a smile, it is quite another being able to scroll through photos & actually relieve what actually took place over the weekend. Many joined us in our crazy photo sessions, one wd be lying if they said fun wasn't HAD. I'm thankful for a lovely weekend, a memorable weekend, my friend's wedding.
