here comes the bride

so you know how every bride misses one part of her wedding? for me, it was our tequila bar and louge, for my friend kim it was the amazingly huge pan of paella at her cocktail hour. well for this bride, she missed what was undoubtedly the best part of the whole wedding - the processional (at least until her entrance). though of course she has this video to watch every single day of the rest of her life. (or at least that's how often i'd watch it if i were her).

seriously though, this is so great and totally worth all the buzz about it over the last few days - in theory, the idea of a crazy wedding processional sort of makes me roll my eyes, as i'm sort of a traditionalist in many ways. but within 30 seconds of this one's start, i was smiling the whole way through. in fact, by the end, i sort of had that "oh, those two" feeling about the bride and groom who are clearly complete strangers to me. it's just a moodlifter, and a unique and memorable way to start a wedding and a marriage. i'd love to hear about other unique wedding stories if you have them.

although the bride is a little sheepish at the end and doesn't quite know what to do with herself, the applause from the crowd says it all. priceless.
