So I don't text. Yeah sure, I know that might date me as much as one of my favorite sayings before I go into a wedding, "time to make the donuts" as a reminder of the hard work and dedication of the Dunkin Donuts man in their commercials of the 80's. While I like to know what my friends are doing, I don't think I need to know where they're currently having lunch. Maybe it's my disdain for texters who seemingly don't know the difference between there, their and they're or your and you're. I mean if someone writes, "your the best" can you really believe that? Now, please don't think I'm some grammar czar correcting all manner of grammatical sins, just read my previous posts and you'll see I'm not. Honestly, I still mix up my who and whom all the time. Could it be I just like human voice communication better? Wow what a crazy concept.
An old study I often reference says that 60% or more of communication is non-verbal. It makes sense. FBI, CIA special agents trained in detecting lies pay more attention to body language than the words coming out of a person's mouth. It's the tone, speed and inflections that really seem to get the message across. I doubt anyone reading this, who will be married, will mention texting in their vows as what they love about the other person or as something they built their relationship on.
I think the actual conversations are what helped build my closeness with Jeff and Cassie. Cassie would call me at random times asking questions or for insight into what I thought would work for the wedding. We planned photo sessions, timelines and details for the wedding. Even after the wedding, Jeff called asking my advice about digital cameras. By the way, I can't wait to see the photos from Hawaii.
Great photos may have great backgrounds and vistas but look in any museum or at photos of historical events, what you'll always find are moments and relationships whether between people or the subject and photographer. If Jeff and Cassie are so easy to talk to and build a relationship with, I can only imagine what they are like together. It's that interest in each other and ease of conversation that, I think, will keep their relationship growing for a lifetime.
