We
are gathered here today to…….?
From proposal to honeymoon your story is unique. There
are countless decisions to be made in a limited amount of time. Set a date,
make a guest list, find a reception venue, chose the wedding party, pick a
dress, pick your friends dresses, will there be guests favors, what should be
bought for Bridal party gifts, who’s the photographer, what about a band
instead of a Sound system, a violinist or a Harpist the list goes on and on and
on and on and on!!! The budget, if you set one, is in jeopardy of approaching
national debt levels. Everything seems to be spinning out of control.
Stop, Step back, Breathe and keep it in perspective,
Prioritize and don’t lose focus of the true mission, the point of it all, the
reason you are doing this, the final goal……. You are getting married! Embrace
the meaning of marriage, remember why you asked or why you said yes to get
married, create your memories, look forward to your future together.
With everything that needs to be done don’t allow it to
diminish the real reason for the celebration. All the choices you will be
making together as a couple are made to create that magical day to leave a
lasting impression on you and your guests. Without losing yourself in the
whirlwind of wedding planning, surrender to it and enjoy it knowing that the
purpose of it all is to express your love, commitment and trust to each other
with all your loved ones as witness to this special occasion.
It’s normal to be excited and worried about the seemingly
never ending list of obstacles to overcome. Surround yourself with family &
friends who have your best interest at heart, hire professionals who are
willing to listen to your vision and above all “To thine own self be true”.
