Word of the day: emotional

Things I saw last week that really resonated with me:

It is the Obamas' dance at the Inaugural Ball, and my favorite version of 'At Last' that I saw that night via all the news coverage (they must have been hearing that song in their sleep--they had to dance to it something like nine times that night!). I love how Beyonce gets so emotional towards the end. All the support shown, all the giddiness of that moment, was very touching.

The next one is a blog posting about a wedding. The couple decided to elope--really elope, with only the two of them and their photographers as witnesses. Photos and video were shot in 8mm and this is how they revealed their secret at a gathering of friends and family. At the end of the post you can click on a link to their emotional Super 8 video. Imagine you are the mother, father, sister, friend etc. of these two and slowly start to realize what you are watching is their wedding. Powerful stuff, wouldn't you say?
