Our family will be gathering to celebrate a wedding very
soon. I love weddings. I don’t know what it is about the sight of
the bride-to-be walking down the aisle that gets me every time. Is it the hope of a positive life
together? Is it the joy I see on her face? Is it that I just love looking at wedding
dresses?? I don’t know, but I always get
teary.
I remember our wedding and I loved it. I didn’t get over-whelmed with the wedding
plans because my fiancĂ© (now husband ;-> ) and I weren’t living in the same
state that it was being performed. It
was such a crazy time. Rob and I were to
be married back home – Oregon - and he was attending college in
Connecticut. We flew home the previous
summer, made some plans, then left. My
poor mom was left with everything.
One of my favorite parts of the planning had to do with
choosing the wedding rings. I completely
surprised myself and didn’t choose a ring style that I had always thought I
wanted. Every time I tried on something big
and sparkly it just didn’t look right to me.
Rob and I started looking at titanium rings and tungsten rings. They looked solid and strong, just what I wanted our marriage to symbolize. We are
approaching 20 years soon. Matching velour
track suits aren’t far behind ;->
