How are weddings themselves teachers
Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 1:52AM Weddings are experiences that enable you to explore new levels of personal and intimate relationships. If you have ever been involved in planning phases of your wedding or, anyone's wedding, you learn about family, friends, prospective family and their views. You may feel overwhelmed with options, or sense exactly what works for you right now.
Many people will grow up dreaming of what they imagine would be their own perfect wedding. The venue, the guests and all the trimmings may be part of it, or, very little in terms of planning if you choose to elope or avoid too many details. What is your dream?
I would love to hear your stories about your own wedding, experience wedding planning or, participating in memorable nuptials. This week, I am in the process of finalizing my own wedding. Instincts led me to plan a simple wedding sail on a tall ship along the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. How this evolved and why will be topics of another post.

I had the joy of planning my wedding just over a year ago and I have to tell you it was wonderful! Why?
Because we knew that this was just a day, a beautiful day but nonetheless a day that would just formally continue the unity, love and bond we already shared.
And we knew we did not want to get wrapped up in the material aspect and have as typical today hundreds of people and everyone's opinion in how things should be and trying to satisfy others based on traditions and obligations. We made the whole process very much our own, very fun, very easygoing and very fulfilling. We did end up planning a small, elegant wedding but no matter how and where things were - the focus was on us. We spent the whole day together from morning to night and just had fun! We were not stressed, not tense and not worried what would or would not turn out. We just let our beings shine through and enjoy this experience we created.
