I'm awake bright and early this Saturday morning because we're off to Indiana to witness two great friends come together in marriage. Yes attending weddings can get really expensive, especially when there's traveling and hotels involved on top of gifts and pre-wedding festivities. But you know what? I LOVE weddings.
I don't take being a wedding guest lightly. I attend as many of the showers and parties as I can, RSVP on time, go all out on gifts and wrap them beautifully, dress to the occasion, and cry tears of joy for each and every friend / family member / acquaintance I watch walk down the aisle. Weddings are a big deal, and so is being asked to attend them.
More recently attending weddings has had even more significance in my life because they remind me how happy and excited I am that Kevin and I have decided to spend the rest of our lives together. I mean really, how cool is that? I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. I get to wear a ring on my hand that says to all others, "don't even think about it" with no further explanation needed. We chose each other, and that's that. Today will be the second wedding we've attended together as an engaged couple, and we have at least four more to go before our big day. My bank account is empty but my heart is smiling, and that's all that matters.
