My Best Friend's Wedding

Last Saturday my best friend, Tammy, whom I’ve known since we were about 8, got married. She had a fairy tale wedding, with a tall handsome groom, a confection of a wedding dress, bridemaids who adored her, a perfect dance with her dad, and a wedding cake baked and decorated by her mom.

Tammy is one of those people who make me believe in goodness, morality, honesty, and decency. As long as people like her exist in the world, it’ll be OK. Better yet, her new husband is the same sort of person. I hope they have passels of kids, all of whom recognize and inherit the inherent decentness and pleasantness of their parents.

Congratulations, Tammy and Andrew.
