This is me at age four. Innocent and pure, already fantasizing about the perfect wedding and the faceless perfect groom to come.
I love weddings because for that one special day, the bride gets to live out her childhood fantasy. She is the center of attention, the luckiest girl in the world, a princess. It is the one day where anything goes. If the bride wants a fountain filled with cheese, she gets it.
I love weddings because each one has so many intricate details that define the bride’s personality. The style, the colors, the music, the candy chosen for the favors – it could be based on a family tradition going back hundreds of years or a four year old’s dream. A wedding tells a story. It represents one couple’s true love and two families coming together to become one.
I love weddings because I tear up every time a bride and her father begin to walk down the aisle. A wedding is a lot of priceless moments that seem to go by in seconds, but will last a lifetime. You dream about these moments and how they will happen. And then they happen and you re-play how wonderful it was over and over.
I love weddings because, even if you have no idea what you want yours to be like and can’t remember ever playing dress-up, a wedding is more than a dream come true and perfect, well-thought out details. It is the day you marry your best friend. It is the best day of your life.
It was an honor to be in your wedding. And even better it was so much fun. Your attention to detail is an art.
Looking forward to hearing all about your next wedding — making someone else’s day special.
