Wedded to Perfection

I couldn't help myself but write, just because of how in love with Weddings I am feeling right now. 

I was a lucky enough girl to get to experience a wedding held at the same venue (different room) that we will be using next October. My mom's assistant (who is just great!) allowed my mom to bring me as a date to her wedding this evening, and I am so thankful. I had the BEST time, just fun from beginning to end, and the best part? You could tell that she and her husband had the most fun of everyone. They danced, they sang, they giggled and they looked madly in love, genuinely elated to be starting their marriage at this wedding that was so "them." And in all honesty, I know the bride more through the wonderful things my mom says about her than actual interaction, so if I could tell how "Them" it was, then it really was just perfect. I am so happy when I see (or better, get to attend) a wedding like this, with how many people just follow the cookie cutter outline of a "wedding" these days. An open bar does not a good time make (in fact, I only had one glass of wine tonight because I was busy enjoying myself!), and it certainly isn't the only thing you want people to like about your wedding. I can't imagine the new Mr. & Mrs. could have had a better time, just by watching them, and I wish them all the love and happiness in the world, and thank them profusely for giving me a peek at our venue, a priceless opportunity! 

5 Things I Realized Tonight - 



1) Nothing is going to get people out on the dance floor like the Hokey Pokey or the Chicken Dance. No matter how "cheesy" they may be. 


2) In my opinion, there is no wedding without kids. Little kids make even the grumpiest guest smile. They are the life of the party, and we are both so excited to have a room full of them next year. 


3) If you had fun planning, and worked together to plan, it will show. If you have fun celebrating, and celebrate together (with your family and friends), it will show. Both of these things, will, inevitably, make for amazing memories, both photographed and internal.

4)You can never have too many cookies.


5) The staircase presentation, while free at The Fez, is worth $5000, if not more. And the food is going to be a hit. We made the exact right choice.

Again, a big giant congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs., and a thank you to weddings for always leaving me with a warm fuzzy feeling, and reminding me how lovely being in love is. :)
