A Cup of Joe – Bridal Bouquet<\/p><\/div>\n

Thoughts From My Friend Joe<\/strong><\/p>\n

This afternoon as I was driving down the Beltline toward Costco, I caught a glimpse of something in the median that saddened my heart a little bit.\u00a0 It was a bridal bouquet that had been tossed away.<\/p>\n

As I drove, I pondered what set of circumstances could have caused a bride to discard such an icon from a day that should be cherished for all time.\u00a0 Had she just learned that\u00a0Mr. Wonderful\u00a0had spent their wedding eve night in the bed of her maid of honor?\u00a0\u00a0Had her new husband succumbed to a guilty conscience and confessed his love for another woman on their way to the reception?\u00a0 Had the\u00a0love of her life\u00a0said something nasty to her mother?\u00a0 The hopes and dreams of a life together, cut short before it even got started.<\/p>\n

Sad—–SAD.\u00a0 A discarded bridal bouquet lying in the\u00a0median amongst the trash,\u00a0discarded beer cans and cigarette butts.\u00a0 Or maybe it was a pair of boxer shorts, I couldn\u2019t really tell.\u00a0 I was going about seventy miles per hour at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
