They’ll tell you that it’s the biggest day of your life. Don’t fall for it. They’ll sell you dreams in red and glitter and fairytales and gold. Don’t pick them up. They’ll add events and standards and expectations and examples to your plans. Don’t latch on. They’ll tell you that it’s the biggest day of your life. Watch out.
It’s not the biggest day of your life. You know what is? The day he smiles at you and tells you how pretty you look and how he loves you unconditionally when your hair is having a crazy odd day and you know that an ogre’d probably score higher points on pretty. The day you resolve a big fight over which side of the bed to sleep on. The day he applauds at your work on that big presentation that you put your nights into and got those ginormous eye-bags while you were at it. The day he proposes you ten more times while in Maldives over the 9th bloody mary.
Your entire life’s going to be filled with the biggest days. So, don’t go around spending your daddy-savings on a seven day spectacle that people will eventually forget and most likely regret as soon as they see their weighing scales jump up a couple of pounds. Don’t give in to the competition. Don’t make it your biggest day of your life.
Go watch a movie the day before your wedding. Or go eat a cupcake or two. Go grab his trek shoes and yours and take that scenic hike together. Don’t forget to carry extra bottle of water though.
Don’t give in to the bridorama. Because if it were up to them, they’d make your wedding another contender in the Wedding Olympics and push you to make it brighter, bigger and blingier. Save yourself the drama and the debacle. It’s about you and him and your life full of biggest days.
Plural, not singular.
