A young couple that we know was married today.  Congratulations to them.  I cried, of course, because it was a beautiful wedding and the bride was beautiful and the groom was so happy and the message was awesome and the slideshow was great and....I love weddings!

I wish I was a young bride again.  It actually hurts to think that I'm not.  Oh, what has happened to my husband's beautiful bride?  She has vanished behind layers of baby-fat and some not-baby-fat, her face isn't as bright and she looks tired and sloppy a lot.  UGH.  I know I'm buying into Satan lies, but it is so hard to combat these.  I want so badly to beautiful, in the worldly way, not the spiritual-good-personality way.  I just want to be drop dead gorgeous, and thinish (not too thin, I like a littly chub).
