Sage Wedding Advice
Oh man, I am tired of wedding planning. One of the girls at work emailed me and said I am so excited, my boyfriend and I got engaged. I may be asking you for wedding planning advice. I emailed her back, not even sure if I said congratulations and said my advice is elope.
What is wrong with me, that is a horrible attitude. It is my honest opinion but still no need to be so rough.
The process does make me laugh though. You read articles in magazines and on the internet of all of the crazy things people do at their weddings. I wonder if they realize they are setting themselves up for disappointment. I mean do you really think its a good idea to ride into the moment when you are going to commit to spend your life with someone on horseback, or perhaps even on a yaught (I mean seriously I don’t even know how to spell yacht, I had to look it up, thats how ridiculous it is).
After listening to my rant on this topic our photographer called me pragmatic. That sounds so boring. I don’t want to be boring. But I also don’t believe setting up a wedding to be like a fairy tale is a good idea.
The only fairy tale I wish for is the happily ever after part. I know not every day will be easy or even wonderful. But in the end knowing that Elliott will love me even after I through a tissy fit and that I will love Elliott even if he won’t go running with me, is what means the most. We love each other unconditionally, and we put up with each others crap. We wallow in the good times and persevere through the hard times. I hope only to be wallowing during our wedding, with just enough sangria ingested, all the right music, dancing till our feet hurt, a few belly laughs, and our friends and family there to enjoy the day with us.
