It has now been three months since the engagement and I have had yet another check by reality. Getting caught up in trying to plan the perfect wedding makes it easy to forget about what really matters. I love my fiance (that sounds so grown up :) and want nothing more than to have the most beautiful and memorable day that we could share with the people we love the most. But, trying to make it "perfect" doesn't seem to make it perfect at all.
The reality check: A couple of nights ago I started to freak about a ceremony and reception site that I was soo stuck on for various reasons. The problem was, the ceremony location's time block is 10-1pm; while the evening reception I have always dreamed of wouldn't start until 6pm. That's a HUGE gap. Having a "this is supposed to be all bout me" moment, I tried to seek out the advice from fellow brides and posted my rant on theknot.com. Of course, I was looking for a couple of people to say "it IS supposed to be all about you"... bloggers do not lie. lol. They wrote it like it was: "Just don't do it. It's a huge pain in the ass for your guest and they will be bitter about it." Thankfully, I didn't read any of the posts until the next morning after I had already agreed it was a bad idea, but reading the replies really set me straight.
It's about me, the groom and the family and friends that have influenced our lives so much. They are the reason we are here; so, it's their day to enjoy as well.
So, I'm starting over with a fresh eye: Plan an experiece that will be full of our love with a generous touch of fun—the great memories that I had been trying to force will come anyway.
