A rant on love

warning: the following is a rant about weddings and love.

I am watching Bridezillas on Netflix while drinking wine and making homemade peppermint exfoliating scrub. While this show amuses me it makes me so incredibly sad. Yes, I am a girl and thus I have spent countless hours thinking about how someday I will get married and I will have the perfect wedding. But I realize my expectation of perfect is very different than a lot of these women. To me, a wedding isn't about the lace, the pearls, the rhinestones, the perfect dress, the perfect cake, the perfect venue and the white linens. Those are all great and can help create a wonderful atmosphere- but to me, the perfect wedding is friends, family, God, a dress that I can dance in, shoes that don't make my feet hurt, my groom to be smiling ear to ear, good-loud speakers, and some yummy food (street tacos are fine by me!).

Long story short: the key to a perfect wedding:

1) Have your groom/bride show up and excited about this next step

2) have friends and family there and excited about your future spouse

3) have some speakers to crank up the music

4) wear comfy shoes or prepare to take them off

5) have some kind of yumminess to snack on- you'll be hungry after all that chaos getting things planned

5) Remember that a wedding is about friends, family, and God witnessing your public proclamation to move forward through the rest of your lives as a team.

Y'all, stop stressing! God will be there, family will be there, and YAY LOVE! YAY UNIONS! YAY MARRIAGE! YAY!

p.s. if a little girl falls next to you and gets cake on your dress, don't make her feel bad about it. She will definitely get hell when she gets home- don't make things worse for her. You sit down on the floor with that little girl and take frosting and draw pictures on your dress. Embrace love!
