wedding review

Saturday, I attended a friend of a friend’s wedding in Winston-Salem. It was lovely and meaningful. It felt like a mini Regent reunion; I got to catch up with people in person. C and I joked about giving each other plants on Facebook as our main communication. I was in awe of my friend’s hosts; they were the epitome of southern and Christian graciousness. G was a far more gracious host than I was an “and guest”, and his homily took root inside my head and will gradually seep into my heart. After this weekend, I wouldn’t mind moving to Winston. I don’t need to eat this coming week thanks to the multiple feasts of which I partook. Seeing the amazing Regent people, it assuaged the tinges of regret over going to Regent. It would have made far more sense to get a business or law degree, but I didn’t. One doesn’t pay the bills with theology… at least not the kind of theology I studied. And, I met a surgeon interested in finding out more about volunteering at the Pan-African Academy of Surgery. Sweet. I’m still getting cold sweats over stupid stuff I said, but I’m hoping that I’m the only person who pays close attention to what I say.
FYI: a vineyard is a great venue for a wedding reception.
