A Wedding Occupies A Season All Its Own
There should be a special name for the dizzying journey that begins when you realize you must start making arrangements for your wedding now, and ends only when you close the door to your honeymoon suite. Never again will your attention be focused so passionately on a single day.
Couples who have experienced the turmoil and delight of a wedding may assail you with advice, but in the end your wedding belongs to you and your groom alone; it will be an expression of your personalities, hopes and beliefs.
The wedding ceremony is a joyous rite of passage, revered as much by modern folk as it was by our distant ancestors. But unlike couples in earlier times, today’s engaged couples are free to create weddings that celebrate their individuality. Whether it takes place in a wooded glade or a glittering ballroom, your wedding will give you and your groom the rare chance to share, with your families and friends, your vision of the ultimate romantic fantasy.
No matter how well you think you know yourself and your fiancé, preparing for your wedding will reveal new facets of both of you. A free spirit may suddenly decide that only a traditional church wedding will do. A woman who always assumed her wedding would be a small family affair will discover that her fiancé longs for an event worthy of Cecil B. DeMille. Religion, family and childhood dreams all play a part in the creation of a wedding, and each helps set the tone for your wedding style. Such pragmatic concerns as your budget, location and season need to be considered, as well; there’s a direct ratio between how lavish your wedding can be and how many people can attend.
A wedding is a monumental occasion, and it’s the rare couple who agree on every aspect of the festivities. But if you allow yourselves time enough to think things through and plan carefully, you can create the wedding of your dreams.
