Joyously lived.

I am so happy and so bawling at the same time! I love that this couple shared their joy and have such loving friends in their lives! Thank you for sharing -Melissa

I also teared up at the end, just watching their joy. Wouldn't it be great if you lived your life in such a way that when you died, people said, "her joy just rubbed off on everyone around her?" Now THAT is the way to live!
Thank you for sharing that. I hadn't seen it although my sister saw it on the news and Entertainment Tonight! LOL
And hey...I go to a Pentecostal church and we dance and act happy every church service so it didn't seem disrespectful to me at all. LOL!

I got this forwarded to me via email a couple of weeks ago and have watched it many times since. I love, love it! So wonderful that they had the idea, got their friends on board and followed through. You are so right, some traditions could use a make-over.

Awesome - our capacity for sillyness is proof God loves us and wants us to have fun with this life.

definately joyful.

totally love it! Made me emotional...

Love this Ali!!! And your quote is perfect--I am going to use it on a page with my youngest!!!

When I saw this last week somewhere, I cranked the music up and the kids and I danced like crazy with it. What fun! Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks so much for sharing that wonderful video Ali. I totally agree with your sentiments about it. I just got married and we really made an effort to make it fun and different. I did find though that we things got stressfull or busy or when I focused on the magazines or other people's expectations of what a wedding should be, I felt the pull towards "the norm." It takes work (or "courage" perhaps) to really live your life. Thanks for the reminder.

I am watching the movie Revolutionary Road and the character April played by just Kate Winslet said "It takes backbone to live the life you want."

That was just absolutely fabulous!

I think that this is fabulous!! How could the marriage not good if they are entering into it with this much happiness? My friend is getting married in September and we are planning to do something similar towards the end of the ceremony. I can't wait to kick off her marriage with such a happy beginning!!

Great video. Love it.
I saw this, the divorce lampoon, first and figured I'd missed something big!

i can't explain the emotion of joy that welled up in my and my eyes as i watched this...how beautiful was that!!! and what a beautiful group of friends they had who embraced a joyous way to celebrate such a wonderful day. thank you so much for sharing that.
