six couples within my close group of friends are getting married this summer. i couldn't be happier for all of them.
through their wedding planning, i've learned a lot. and it has gotten me thinking about, if i ever get married, what my wedding will be like. certainly much different than most other ceremonies.
first off, i'm going to send invitations to everyone who might want to come. wedding guest lists should not be the place to exercise a sense of control over others. if someone really wants to come celebrate the love that you and your significant other are professing, then that someone should be there.
also, none of this two months of festivities. one shower. one rehearsal dinner. no bachelorette party. my whole life has been one big bachelorette party. why would i need one more?
food at the wedding? barbecue and coleslaw and sweet tea.
no gifts. make a donation to your favorite charity in our names. consumerism should not play a role in the start of a marriage.
just some thoughts. i'm not criticizing, just commenting on how different my ideal wedding is from the norm.
now i have to begin studying for my exam. that happens to be in nine hours and fifty minutes.
