[…] a good Wedding Graduate post. But at our wedding I was the driest eye in the house. It was too emotionally huge to even think about crying. Who knew?” And then there was Lauren, who instead of being […]

After an intense fight with my fiance (which ended with me realizing I've been unemployed too too long and really need to get a life beyond wedding planning), I needed some sanity. I came back to this post. The last sentence is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!!

oh, wow. I'm so happy for you!
And you definitely just tipped the scales in favour of a honeymoon/mini-getaway after the wedding (that we were considering putting off until after the 2nd wedding celebration here in his country (Spain) 2 months later).
Thanks for the wisdom and the cuteness.

I love and appreciate your words.

I am getting married in 2 months and I just had my bachelorette party/bridal shower.

What I felt was completely unexpected. I felt so loved, so "taken care of", a sense of security that I have never felt in my entire life.

When my fiance and I decided to have a 30 person guest for our wedding, we decided to not have a bridal party. I did, keep my maid of honor. When all that happened, I emailed all my girlfriends many of whom were not in my original 4 person bridal party and asked if they could wear colors within my color scheme to the wedding.

Those women, those wonderful beautiful women did something special for me- I can't express to them the gratitude and love I have for each and everyone of them.

So, I can only imagine how I will feel on my wedding day to be surrounded by truly wonderful caring individuals.

Crying reading your post and realizing, again, what a momentous blessing it was to sing those blessings to you two and look at your happy, smiling faces each time the blessings mentioned the hatan (groom) and kalah (bride). A beautiful day.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and eloquent post. It totally brought me back to my own wedding day, and the feeling of joy,love and enormity of it all. I remember very few design details with absolute clarity, but the feelings and images of my family and friends are vivid still 5 years later.

As always, dear Meg, your post is timely, thoughtful and oh-so-heartwarming.

As the weeks wind down toward my own wedding, I'm consumed with silly wedding worries that fill both my waking and sleeping hours; near panic at the flood of RSVPs which arrive every day now; sadness at those that cannot come; glee at those that can; giddiness at the sight of my frock; dreaminess each evening when I come home and the boy is there with a hug and a kiss and a joke to make me laugh. All the while I am thinking "Soon, I'll be Mrs, and all of this whoop-dee-doo and fuss over flowers and place settings WILL.NOT.MATTER."

The gravity of what we're about to do in 6 weeks and a few days is overwhelming at times, but deeply touching most others.

So, thank you thank you thank you for bravely and eloquently stating what it truly means to wed and how the details are really quite small in comparision to the beauty of marrying the one you love.
