Say “I do” to exhuberance
Pre-Ramble: I have never featured a video in one of my blogs — it seems like cheating somehow. It seems like a short-cut on content or substance in some way… like planting your kids in front of the Disney Channel to keep them occupied while you focus your attention elsewhere.
Now, I’m not dissing the Disney Channel, or parents/caregivers who select that form of entertainment for their little charges, I’m just considering whether or not readers feel jipped when they click into their favorite blog (aw shucks) only to be unceremoniously hi-linked to some other universe. I guess the only way that would be a good thing, is if the video or link is outstandingly amazing …
… LIKE THIS!:
This is just the greatest testament to exuberance I’ve ever seen — sweet, wacky, fun, cut-loose, authentic exuberance! As of this writing it has over 15 million hits (that’s alot). One of the random comments on the youtube site says it best:
That was an awesome wedding entrance. I have watched this ten times and it still makes me laugh, smile, cry and hope.
The Take-Away: I’m going to make room in my life for some of that!

We love this!!!!! Now we are going to send it on to 15 million more friends!
