Love is Never Too Late (Blog #11)

Many people reach a certain age and start to think that they're too late to find love. Well this past winter vacation I discovered that there really is no specific age to find love. I attended my grandmother's wedding over the weekend, and the whole thing was very touching. Okay, she's not really my grandmother, she's my grandfather's wife. My grandfather passed away about ten years ago, so now she getting remarried. I found it a bit strange that after being with someone for so long and experiencing their death that she could get married again, but I'm happy for her nonetheless.
The wedding was at Salisbury beach, in the middle of winter. This was yet another thing that I found a bit strange. It was inside though, overlooking the ocean waves, which was very beautiful. As my grandmother and her new husband said their vows, you could really tell how happy they truly were to be together. My grandmother even mentioned her late husband (my grandfather), thanking him for everything he gave her, including my part of the family. She also had a table set up with pictures of all those loved ones who had passed away from her family and her husband's, representing their presence at the wedding too. I thought this detail added so much sentimental feeling to wedding. Although my grandmother is 65, she seemed so young and vibrant on this night and I'm more than excited for her new marriage. This whole night proved to me that its never too late to find love and its never too late to be happy.
