So many times during planning for a wedding or any event, we can get caught up in the details and the day to day activities. This and that commands our attention and all of a sudden we find ourselves wondering "why am I doing all of this?"
If you feel overwhelmed or stressed about the event that you are creating, maybe it is time to take a breath, sit back and re-evaluate. If your wedding event seems to have gotten out of hand with this and that vendor and the latest decorating craze, maybe you have lost the focus and need to scale back to your original plans---getting married to each other.
Don't get me wrong, I am in business as well and would love to decorate for the ultimate event, but weddings shouldn't be spectacles--they should be ceremonies of love and individual expressions of joy and togetherness. If your days are caught up in the particular color of a flower or how many key chains to make as favors, then I would say that you may have lost the true meaning of the day.
To stay on track, talk to each other about likes and dislikes. Be respectful of each other's opinions and dreams of the day. After all, the wedding needs two people to perform the act of getting married, so it isn't all about just one person's wishes. Incorporate personal touches and loving gestures that your friends and family will remember. How about greeting your guests at the door to your reception with hugs and handshakes rather than riding around in a limousine that costs hundreds of dollars drinking yourself silly? How about having a date night right before the wedding instead of going to the bars and creating scenes that aren't befitting a gracious host and hostess?
Holding hands, loving smiles and hugs, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your wedding day--now that's a wedding celebration that is worth millions!
