Welcome to Reality...

I married my best friend about a month ago.
It was picture perfect. My best friends stood up with me, my Daddy walked me down the aisle, I had an altar full of candles and a church full of my favorite people, there were fun ribbons on everything that could be detailed, and I had such a good time that my smile muscles are still sore. Picture. Perfect. Okay, so Clinton took forever on the aisle runner, I got called by my sister's name at first, and the rings put up a fight to fit on our fingers... but those things make for a light and fun ceremony. All in all, I wouldn't have changed a thing. Well, I might've done some things differently if I'd been the only one that mattered.
But contrary to today's typical bride, I wanted my husband to look back on our day and know that everything about it was how he had wanted it too. Given, it makes for harder planning, but it does teach lessons about communication, patience, and compromise that most people wait until after the wedding to learn. Personally, I'd advise my route to anyone. (But then again... every person with either integrity or vanity would recommend their own way of doing things to anyone. I don't know what that really says about me. Take from that what you will. Haha.)
In short, my intent with this blog is to have a positive (and hopefully productive and instructive) outlet for my planning-withdrawal. (Which perhaps I'll do an entire post on eventually.) Put shortly, I'm writing my advice and thoughts in here so that I don't start planning all of your weddings and insisting that I do everything except wear the pretty white dress. I promise not to do any of that... if you promise to send me an invite... and read my stuff. :)
