It wasn’t but a few days ago that I talked about the things my engagement ring taught me. Today’s life lesson is it might be best to go with your first idea. My first idea was to have a small mostly family ceremony and a casual lunch. Of course, even with just family and close friends it won’t be all that small when your fiancé has 11 brothers and sisters. Curious where this plan got off course?
That is right one magazine took this small affair off on a tangent I never thought myself capable. One magazine turned into 5. Those 5 turned into elaborate venues and a potential budget I could never imagine paying. Tonight when I got home I found an equally overwhelmed partner. Since he is sleeping and I am still awake thinking about the wedding I will have to fill him in tomorrow that I am equally overwhelmed. As I have been up for the last hour thinking this all over for the 1,000 time I am coming closer to a conclusion that I don’t need the fancy wedding and that the first idea was probably the best. As I came to this decision I felt a little sense of relief that I might not need to figure out all these damn details, that if I go with the first idea it really is a wedding that is more suited to the two of us. Only time will tell since this will be about the 10th time I have changed my mind. After all I am the bride and that is my prerogative.
