Being married and having a wedding are NOT one in the same.
I had always told my husband that I did not want a big wedding. I envisioned a jazz band and a bout 50 of our closest friends and family. That so did not happen. We ended up with a full-on, fabulous DC wedding with about 150 guests.
I'm so glad my husband talked me into it. He won the wedding debate by stating the following: "When will you ever another chance to get all of the people you love under one roof?" He was so right. I can't think of any other time in my life where I'd could get my hairdresser, dissertation committee members, long-distance relatives, first roommate from college, former students, and coworkers under one roof at the same time. Well, I can think of one other occasion, but I'm so glad that I was above the ground to witness everyone coming together. Ha! The day was magical. It was like an out-of-body experience.
Just know this: Marriage is not about flowers, bridesmaids dresses, tuxedos, and cake. That's the wedding. But through the wedding, you and your spouse can learn so much about how to operate in a marriage. You can learn about compromise, and budgeting. You can learn how to negotiate relationships with your family and friends; and trust, a few of them will get weird on you. You and your spouse can learn how to truly operate as a team. You all can learn to lean on each other and your Higher Power when things get tough.
Until next time . . . I'll be over here putting together the wedding posts!
