reflections on my wedding day

most of you know that today was supposed to be my wedding day, and obviously, that didn’t quite work out. it seems strange that ten months have passed, and i find that not much has changed in that time. i guess i take comfort in knowing that i am not willing to settle on the wrong relationship just to get out of singlehood, but i don’t know what is sadder, thinking that my ‘goal’ was possible, or the reality that it was.

determined not to let that get me down, angela, steve, steve’s sister katie, and i headed out to markham to pick some apples and enjoy a beautiful fall day.

upon arriving, we were a little disappointed to find that the apples had all fallen, but our disappointment was quickly replaced by awe, as we marveled at the amazing colors dotting the blue ridge mountains. we could not have asked for a more gorgeous day, and took some time to enjoy caramel apples(holy cow, were they good) while purchasing some pre-picked apples and acoutrements (fresh apple butter-yum!!)

all in all it was the perfect way to soak in the fall, and to distract me from other thoughts. the new wedding date is 7-7-07, and i feel pretty good about that. even though i am sort of anti-dating at this point, i’m not convinced dating is required for marriage;) so here’s hoping that lucky 7’s are lucky indeed!
