Today I want to write a quick post to congratulate my friend Yesabel on her special day. Sunday she married her now husband Nick and I couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to celebrate with them. Congratulations to you both and thank you for inviting me to join in the special day.
Before I get to the wedding I just want to say this: travelling is a hassle. It was worth it in the end, but why does it have to be so hard? I don’t mind going through security at all in fact all the TSA agents I encountered were super nice to me, though that could be because I followed the rules and listen to instructions. while other people struggle to put their shit in a bin. How hard is it? Empty your pockets slid off your shoes put it all in a bin or in one of your bags keeping your laptop in a separate bin. It’s not hard you morons. If everyone followed instructions things would go quick and smooth. I just hate people.
Anyway i finally got to my hotel and drank some beer at Applebee's before hitting the hay and getting up in the morning to get ready to celebrate. Now it took me forever to tie a tie but I looked good.
Ok this post is not about me, it is about Nick and Yessie so let me move on. It was raining all morning but as Florida does it cleared up and the sun came out in time for the ceremony.
We arrived and I said hello to all of Yessies cousins, aunts, and uncles: her parents were walking her down the aisle and I had to wait to say hello to them. I took a seat when the James Bond theme started to play.The groom and his groomsmen arrived via power boat then Yesabel began her walk to her new life. It was on of the nicest ceremonies I have been a part of and their vows they wrote one another were beautiful, and knowing Yessie the way I do I bet she grammar checked the shit out of hers even though no one was reading them but her. They were finally married:
And then we partied and as soon as the first Spanish song came on we hit the dance floor. It was a lovely eating and those potatoes. . . Yesabel call them and get me that recipe.
Now let me back track to a little more than three years ago when Yessie was making a huge change in her life and leaving the only home she knew to start her career in North Carolina. She was terrified of it all and I reassured her she was making the best decision for her future. I was only speaking career wise, but life changed so much more for her down there. She grew in her profession (though she hated some of the other nurses) she made some friends and she began doing online dating. I think she was doing it in Jersey too, but jersey guys on there are dicks I assume. She made me one and I never used it. Maybe I should have.
She got a message from guy and he looked attractive in his picture so she met him. They hung out a couple times and I would get a text “he is short” or “he is too nice.” I would reassure her that being nice should not be a dis-qualifier from her dating him. She was just being irrational and knew she was just scared of a commitment or getting hurt. Though she never said that. I’m just assuming.
I think she got busy at work and they her and Nick hadn’t spoke until one day I got a text from her saying that “I ran into that guy Nick at the gym.” A sign of fate. The moment I told her Nick was a keeper when she had a flat tire and Nick came to the rescue. Right then I knew they were destined for something.
Nick has been nothing but fantastic to her and I couldn’t ask anything more of someone marrying a good friend of mine. Nick even relocated his home to move to California for Yesabel and if that isn’t love I don’t know what is. He gave up whatever he was building in his home state, leaving behind his friends and family to move across the country without even having a job lined up just because he knew that this was the best opportunity for his love and he would probably go to the end of the earth for her and I know she would do the same because that is love.
Yesabel, you have been through the toughest time in my life and have pushed me to always be a better version of myself. You deserve the best and I am glad you found it and discovered yourself along the way.
Congratulations you guys the ceremony was wonderful and may the rest of your lives be fun and full of the love that brought you together.
