Doing the work to make memories

The electricity went out in our house last night. I am not sure what happened, but 8 hours later, we had power. Of course, reading by flashlight can get old when you are used to creature comforts, so sleep came early last night. So did waking up to lights, the TV, the washing machine, etc.
So, since I was up turning everything off and had 6 hours of sleep under my belt, I decided to get to work putting things away from our last two weddings last weekend. It is quite a task, but a pleasant one as well. Everything that has to be unpacked gives me a memory of the weddings that it touched, the people that we helped and the friends that we made.

When the food has been ate, the music fades away and the flowers are long gone, memories and photos are all that you really have left. You want them to be great ones. In fact, one of the main goals at your wedding should be the memories that you create with your guests; the love and laughter that you shared with those that are closest to you.

Couples, take lots of pictures - don't let your photographer place a time limit on your wedding. Dance with every guest that you can, laugh with the oldest to the youngest; hug and love everyone that attends and be thankful that you were able to create a memorable and loving environment that attendees will long remember. Now, that is a perfect wedding!
