Such a Sucker for Words

I have to admit, I don't watch as much TV as I once used to. And that's a good thing. There's a whole lot of cr*p on these days.

But there are certain lines or moments from particular movies that always get my goat. Steel Magnolias, Doc Hollywood, Family Man and now that I've finally seen it...Casablanca.

On the TV front, there aren't as many lines that stay with me for too long. Until tonight.

I used to watch Grey's Anatomy religiously. Granted I had to TiVo it, but I watched it. I haven't seen this past season, though saw things here and there that led me to believe one of the main characters was leaving the show.

Tonight, what must have been one of the last episodes of this past season came on and due to the thunderstorm we were receiving having chosen numerous channels to knock out, I stopped there.

The show ended with a surprise wedding in which the words below were said and, of course, made me bawl like a baby. Okay, granted I am known to even cry at commercials, but I thought this was so sweet.

Today is the day my life begins, all my life I’ve just been me, a smart mouth kid, today I become a man, today I become a husband, today I become accountable to someone other than myself, today I become accountable to you, our future, to all the possibilities our marriage has to offer, together no matter what happens, I’ll be ready, for anything, for everything, to take on life, to take on love, to take on possibility responsibility, today our life together begins, and I for one can’t wait.

Umm...wow. A dramatic show on tv? Yes. But a tear-jerker nonetheless. I'm such a sucker for words. I admit it.
