22 Hours Later....

      Two years ago, when my cousin and his girlfriend announced to our family that they were in engaged to be married, we were all so happy for them.  They had originally informed us that they would be having a destination wedding in Key West, Florida, which we were all looking forward to (to say the least).  Since then, their plans have changed quite a few times.  Over the summer, they finally decided they would be having three different celebrations in three different countries, as a way to include all of their wishes and desires for their very special day.
      In April, they will be getting married in New York City, followed by a small cocktail hour in Brooklyn.  A week after their New York wedding, the pair will be traveling to Spain so my cousin and his fiance may share the joy with her family who still lives in Malaga.  First, however, and the part I feel is the most interesting, they are kicking it all off with a wedding in Thailand where they will be taking part in a traditional Thai wedding ceremony.  This includes wearing traditional garments, being painted with Henna, and riding atop elephants.  The two merry travelers left yesterday and 22 hours later, they are probably sitting somewhere on a beach receiving back massages, manicures and pedicures for three dollars, while the rest of us are trekking through the 30 mph winds..UGH!
