Wedding season is nearly upon us. Across America and beyond there are thousands of brides-to-be who are speeding madly from caterer to photographer from reception hall to dress shop and then plodding home and collapsing into pitiful puddles like pouting princesses. OK, that may have been one too many P words.
My question is: for what? So that they can have a wedding just like every other wedding? I suggest that one of the most important days of our lives should be memorable and unique. Personalize everything! (Now there’s a good P word) Make it about what the two of you love, not about what the hottest trend in table decorating happens to be. Use lots of color! Colors you love! Have a theme or unexpected music or abandon the whole walking down the isle thing and just casually make your way to the front after greeting your guests.
Put your name, your seal, on the whole thing and don’t try to imitate what anyone else has done. That’s my advice. You can personalize your ribbon with a special message or put pictures of the two of you under glass tops on the tables instead of table cloths. You could have your favorite fun foods in place of roast beef and green beans! Make it unforgettable!
