Sneak Preview

I just experienced my first wedding-while-engaged and it was fantastic. Have you ever just wanted to sit back and judge? Because that is what you can do at a wedding if you are in the midst of planning your own. I mean, you can’t tell anyone what you think, no-no Bridezilla, but you can observe and inner-monologue-comment and smirk to yourself all you want. Or cry, snivel, sigh with contentedness, and steal ideas—whatever you prefer. People think you are a greedy, needy, crazy-person anyway.
There were several details I desperately wanted to copy exactly for my upcoming nuptials/party, and there were several details I immediately placed on the do-not-ever-do list. Unfortunately, about half the guests will be at my own wedding so they probably would notice (and judge) if we copied everything. The stuff I didn’t like will stay secret with me.
Isn’t it funny how a very common ceremony (or, more importantly, party) can be so different from day to day, person to person? As long as I know mine will be the best…
