Weddings, Funerals or Family Reunions

I drove out to California this weekend for my cousins wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. She looked beautiful, everything seemed to go perfectly and I'm sure it was a night she'll never forget. She'll have pictures and memorabilia that will last a lifetime. I was able to see family and friends I hadn't seen in years.
The event took place on a 4 floor yacht in Newport Harbor, with the sunset as a backdrop, and lasted 5 hours. Once the boat left the dock, we were on for the duration, but let me tell you, 5 hours went by like nothing and then it was time for everyone to head home. While many headed to a local bar to hang out longer, many of us headed back to our hotels/homes and places we were staying at while we were down for the wedding.
All in all it was a magical evening and the bride and groom couldn't have asked for a better send off as husband and wife.
It's sad when the only time we get to see each other is at a wedding or a funeral. We sometimes have Family Reunions, but it seems that each year the amount of people who seem to make it down each year are less and less.
At funerals it's a time for grieving, but yet we are glad that we are getting to see each other when it has been so long since we last saw each other.
Life is so short.. It's sad that we don't get to see each other but for these few times a year even though we are family.
