August 15, 2019 – The seventh wedding I attended fell on my one-year sober anniversary. At a cliff-side ceremony in Maine, the clouds rolled in. By the time the sun came out again, my friends were married. As I watched them exchange their first kiss as husband and wife, I realized that I truly didn’t want to escape. For years, I had been approaching weddings as just another night out, a chance to drink and dance with my own inner demons. But it took giving up alcohol to realize what may have been obvious to others all along: weddings are a window into a relationship. With or without alcohol, a wedding can provide a glimpse at the kind of relationship you deserve, or remind you of why you committed to your partner in the first place. It’s a privilege to witness them, and it’s even better to remember them the next day.
