I’m getting married in a couple days and for the last month or so I’ve been working on ideas for my table decorations. Because my fiancee and I are working hard to pull off our simple wedding ceremony with next to no money, I had to get creative. The venue for our wedding is a French Country banquet room in our small town historic hotel. This suits me just fine because I love old antique things, lace and all that kind of decor. The groom, on the other hand, likes a more contemporary look, but he is willing to let me do my girl thing without too much protest.
The other night I got out my craft supplies and started to paint an antique wash onto my large paper ‘doilies’ which will be placed under the centerpieces of our tables. I was so proud of my ingenuity and my frugal creativity, I didn’t even consider that he might not fall in love with my idea.
“Tell me we aren’t going to have doilies at our wedding,” were the first words out of his mouth.
It seems that he could hold his peace no longer. Oh well, marriage is about give and take and serving each other. So, I told him the doilies were out, to which he insisted that we go ahead and use them. We haven’t been able to come to a sensible compromise as of yet (half a doily just doesn’t seem to make much sense) but I have a sneaking suspicion he isn’t going to mind them one bit when he sees me in my knock-out dress!
