I want to speak for a few minutes about the wedding of Greg and Sarah Lee, of which I was a small part this past weekend. When Greg asked me to be a part of his wedding, I was surprised but very flattered. I have always thought of Greg as a good friend and someone I would have in my wedding, but never really thought I'd be asked to be in his. Don't get me wrong, we've seen each other grow up and go through a good bit over the years, but Greg is very spiritual. I fail at that 99% of the time. But that is just the thing, that hasn't mattered to Greg. He has never been a judge of folks. He has heard me curse for years, seen us all drink and watched Erich go through a difficult divorce. Regardless of everything we've been through or done, Greg has never once judged me or any of the rest of us. He is an amazing guy, and every chance I have to visit with Sarah is a nice blessing. She is a wonderful woman who has found one of the greatest men on earth.
It was an emotional wedding for sure. Actually, I can say the most emotional wedding I've ever been a part of. First there are the challenges Greg's mom faced, raising three kids on her own. Then the tragic passing of Mr. Lee when all of his kids were very young. Seeing all of the families there, all celebrating in the union of one new family was heartwarming. Greg and Sarah deserved to be honored by so many great people, and they were. Of course, Greg and Sarah both had eloquent words for each other. And then Greg said a little about each of his groomsmen. I was pretty much in tears throughout the entire rehearsal dinner. It was beautiful.
I was also able to share in the friendship of some dear old friends and several new ones. Any chance I have to visit with my old skool Winston-Salem peeps is totally enjoyable. We have a great bond. There are about eight of us from high school that still keep in touch. I have some great friends from college, no doubt, but my W-S peeps will always have a special place in my heart. I was fortunate enough to not only have Erich and Greg there, but Newp, Kacie, Karin and Scottie. It was an honor to be around them all. They have always been a tremendous support system. I'm blessed.
It was an emotional weekend, yet it was amazing. I say this often, but I always admit it every chance I get ... I am very lucky!
