I need to mail invitations. And a zillion other things. But instead, let's talk weddings, shall we?
Ahh, wedding day.
This is the most important day of your ENTIRE life.
Or. So we are led to believe. And don't get me wrong, this day is a BIG deal. But is it worth tears and stress and questioning your sanity? Can you make a wrong choice, order HORRIBLE decorations, and ruin your wedding?
Some might say yes. I say no. Let's delve into why you cannot and should not fret about ruining your wedding:
FIRSTLY: This is YOUR wedding. Be respectful of family members and guests, but this is your and your significant other's special day. If you like it? Go for it.
SECONDLY: What is the most important thing in planning your wedding? Having a God honoring union. How you go about that can happen a zillion ways, right? I mean, otherwise, we would all get married the same way.
THIRDLY: A wedding is about joining two souls, not matching salt shakers, wedding bubble blowers, and the most perfect/unique/ah*mazing playlist. Are those things what make it unique and memorable? Yes. But the ultimate goal of a wedding is to create a marriage that lasts forever. If you have to choose between having lasting memories of your wedding ambiance or a lasting marriage, we know which is more important.
FOURTHLY: Ask yourself: if you do your best to be economical, smart, and trust God to guide you in your decisions and planning, how can you ruin your wedding?
Outside circumstances we cannot help. But when it comes to us, we do our best, trust God, and let the results glorify him. What are your thoughts?
my thoughts are THANK YOU. it's just so not worth stressing over basically anything. i mean, yeah, there are ways to make it fun and unique and stuff but you can toss all that out the window and still be married; and still glorify God. which is all that really matters. be willing to buy those two things at the cost of all others, and then you're free to have as much fun ruining your wedding as you could ever hope to have. fox nests on the tables, and dancing that starts *before* dinner...on a plywood dance floor, to boot? yes, please.
