Sarah has finally come back home to Richmond, in preparation for her wedding this coming weekend. She came to church and team interpreted with me (she's amazing), we went to lunch with her fiance and his mom, and then spent the whole day knocking about town, shopping for last-minute wedding items, and generally enjoying time together.
I then had the opportunity to bless her, Bryan (the groom), and Lorna (the groom's mommy) with a night out to the cinema, just to get away from wedding planning stress, and enjoy an evening away.
We went to see The Watch, the new Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn/Jonah Hill movie. And while there were some really hilarious moments in which I laughed inappropriately too loud, there were A LOT of incredibly inappropriate moments. Moments that were incredibly unnecessary to the story. And sometimes to the scene. There was a whole 2 minutes when Lorna and I looked at each other in disgust, red-faced, awkward, and uncomfortable, while Sarah stared at me in shock that I would choose a movie so closely related to pornography. That's right. Pornography. Completely inappropriate for a movie that you might even think about taking your family to see, let alone a bride and groom who are preparing for their 6-day-away wedding.
Sheesh.
But then the moment passed, laughter resumed, and the movie concluded in a ridiculous twist-of-plot-I-can't-believe-what-I'm-seeing-and-not-necessarily-in-a-good-way kind of finale.
And yet I don't care. Because we had a great time! And she's home for the week. The last week she'll be a single woman. And then she'll be married! To a man who loves and adores her, and treats her with more respect and adoration than anyone I've ever known.
Many prayers, hopes, wishes, and blessings for the upcoming nuptials, and their fairy-tale marriage directly after!
And she's pretty, too.
