"Love makes you crazy!" -Brittany Homer
Have you heard of the song "Marry Me" by Train? It is a sweet song; one that eventually grew on me. But not before I unintentionally insulted it while talking to one of my friends who was considering using it as a wedding song.
We'd been sitting in the car waiting for Kami to get back from one errand or another. "Marry Me" came on the radio. "I hate this song!" I had said and quickly changed the station. I don't remember if Brittany said anything about my reaction, maybe something sarcastic like, "Good to know how you feel about it!" or something to make me chuckle. Before the song had ended, Kami got back in the car.
"Are you still thinking of using this song as your wedding song?" she asked Britt.
And, man, did I feel ridiculous!
Needless to say, Brittany is married now. She walked down the aisle to "I Do" by Colbie Caillat. "Marry Me" was played at some point during the reception and I enjoyed all three minutes and 25 seconds of the song.
I've brought this story up because as the song "Marry Me" grew on me so did the idea of marriage or vice versa...I'm not entirely sure which. But in celebrating Brittany's marriage with her, I realized the full turn around I've made in attitude toward the institution. I'm so happy for her and Remington and grateful that I had the opportunity to share in their joy!
