Wedding Wishes

Wish 1

I don't want this wedding budget to drive me crazy or sad. Right now, it's doing a little of both. But I want to get over it. I hope that I don't continue to see the budget swarming around and around in my brain when I close my eyes.

I would hate to feel a pang of regret every time I think about our wedding. I don't want to b*tch about the budget to other people. I don't want to beat myself up about it. I want to let it go. Deal with it and move on.

I'm crossing my fingers that my thoughts and memories of the wedding will NOT revolve around our budget. But will instead focus on the moments, the emotions, and the magic of the day.

Wish 2

I hope that our guests "get it" - that they realize that the small details of our celebration are meaningful, deliberate and a true expression of who we are. If it doesn't mean anything, or if it's just for show, I want to scrap it...not waste a second of my life creating it.

Wish 3

Wonderful weather. Weather is totally out of my control...no amount of planning, or micro-managing, or paying loads of money, or anything I do can control this element. Pretty much the perfect thing to wish for.

Wish 4

I want to enjoy these last few weeks of preparation...knowing that what I am choosing to spend my time on will be reflective and meaningful and (hopefully) pretty.  These weeks leading up to the wedding are memory makers too - and I want them to be full of details of their own...of me actually living...not stressing over wedding minutia.

Wish 5

When saying my vows, I want to be more present in that moment than any other. When I am looking into the eyes of my husband,  I want my senses to be alive with pure life.

Wish 6

I wish to feel free on my wedding day - free to feel every emotion. To capture those moments, lock them away deep in my soul for safe keeping and memory lane. To enjoy, and revel, in every last second.
