I don't know if you guys remember my post about awesome friends. I hope so, because I meant what I wrote there. I realized yesterday that I needed to add someone to that list. Really, all my friends belong on it, but I can't add them all. The person that I thought of yesterday was my best friend, Tyson.
He's a pretty cool guy. He's super-talented in the music realm (plays guitar in a band), super-intelligent (fluent in three languages), and just over all super awesome. Tyson is the kind of guy that you could tell anything to and know without doubt that he wouldn't judge you for it.
Yesterday, I had the privilege and honor of serving as one of his groomsmen at his wedding. As I watched the sealer pronounce him and his bride man and wife, a huge well of joy nearly burst out in a yell. Thankfully, I managed to restrain myself. Temples aren't really the place for a large, joyful outburst, no matter how prudent it might seem at the time. At the end of the ceremony, all I could think of to say to my friend was, "I am so happy for you!" I'm pretty sure I whispered it as loud as I could because I couldn't hardly contain it.
I told him that repeatedly throughout the day, for I meant every word. I was SO happy for him. I was a little miffed at myself because for once, I couldn't find words to express my joy. Normally, finding words is not really a problem for me. But that day, it didn't seem to matter as much as I was fretting. So, I stopped worrying about it and enjoyed the day.
His bride is gorgeous. Her wedding gown was stunning. It was simple, yet refined; and her natural beauty coupled with it outshone the bright January sun. And standing next to her man, I couldn't think of a more beautiful couple. Together, they looked so happy! So ready to take on the world together! I'll admit, I was super jealous: jealous of the happiness they shared together. It made me want that kind of joy for myself (shocker to all of those who know me, I know).
Anyway, chalk up another one for Luke's awesome friends. They are more awesome than I think they know, but that could just be me underestimating. Sometime I do that. Hopefully, this does them some justice, and they can see it and be happy knowing just how great I think they are.
