Days Away
We are officially 12 days away and the butterflies are bouncing all around my stomach. The thought of my girl in her gown with a big smile on her face sends me soaring. It’s like I see everything in slow motion. All the friends and family coming together—what a great idea this marriage thing is.
I plan to breathe deep and be present and open myself and mean what I say. I’m really excited to do this. There’s gonna be lots of love going around.
And Brandy and I have realized we’re going to be broke as soon as it’s over. Anxiety aside, there’s something fun about that—starting our lives together with nothing but each other. It’ll make us appreciate everything we build.
I could go into the details and we could all worry together—everything is always more than you expect—or I can decide that everything will be fine, that as long as we have each other, we have the greatest base to build upon. Isn’t that what the ceremony is about?
The alternative is a distraction that I don’t want around on my wedding day—or my honeymoon for that matter. This doesn’t mean we won’t be conscious of our spending, it just means that we’re going to have fun no matter what. Because we choose to.
There lies a certain power in that—to realize that circumstances are what they are, and that the day will be what we make of it. It is über important to focus on the big picture on such a big day. And the big picture is long term.
I sat down to write this blog with trepidation about the numbers. I’m going to bed now with enthusiasm over the event. They say you teach what you need to learn. I feel better. Here’s hoping you do, too. Cheers. ☺
