I loved this wedding so much it hurts.
If I’d written that at any other time, you could write it off as florid hyperbole. But now it is keenly true: not only are Melissa and Zach fantastic people to be around whose love for each other is obvious, but they celebrated that love and their commitment fervently and wildly, surrounded by friends and family, dancing and laughing and sweating and dipping each other deeply to the amazing music of The Hook Club in the regal beauty of Yale Club.
I think that it’s so important to be able to do this that I’ve dedicated my life to telling these sorts of stories, and it hurts to have so much uncertainty about when we can all safely crowd together on a dance floor again, singing and yelling and smiling until our cheeks ache.
But seeing amazing celebrations like theirs still brings me an incredible amount of joy, because we know that we will get back there again. This, too, shall pass. And no celebration will ever feel sweeter than when we can all come back together.
