My friend Stampin Rachel has long been aware of my bouquet dilemma and so was kind enough to send me some articles on alternatives. Some were pretty good ideas but there was one that was definitely NOT our bouquet...
A bible or prayerbook.
Not that there's anything wrong with it. But Dude and I had long decided that we were having a civil ceremony, and only a civil ceremony. If we were going to do anything religious, my first vote would be having a gospel choir. I love gospel choirs.
Speaking of gospel, this week at dance my teacher was feeling particularly inspired from the election and so he decided to do a gospel combination. I told him that I wasn't sure my body could do gospel, to which he replied, "Honey, you're colored, of course you can do gospel. Think of all the injustice you've experienced and think about a day, someday, that it was all taken away." And I don't know what song he chose but it was filled with a lot of Glory Hallelujahs and sure enough, after a few minutes I was no longer insecure and I flailed like the Holy Spirit had taken over me.
It was just what I needed.
Is it just me, or has the city been so much nicer and more inspired since Tuesday? Even if nothing ever happens again, I will always remember this feeling. It is jubilant.
There. I finally have a wedding theme. Jubilant.
