Whoa, the best man is a woman? What does that say about you bub? Well, I do know that it says that sometimes we do things a bit differently. Sometimes we reject the norm and insert our own. Sometimes we decide our own path depending on what is meaningful to us. While Valerie may be a wonderful young lady she is also something else. She is important. She is meaningful. Afterall, what is a better yardstick for a best man than importance and meaning?
And for those people who think a best man should have certain qualities like strength and toughness about them, like having the ability to get right up after getting their collarbone broken, Valerie got right up after I broke hers.
