Weddings

Few things in life can be as stressful while at the same time exhilaratingly fun as a wedding. Why not take as much of the stressful part out as possible?

My aunt got married last night and the wedding was, in her words, fairytale perfect. I’m not sure if she was smoking something funny or if she just woke up and told herself that no matter what, that day was going to be perfect and nothing could ruin it for her, but the attitude she displayed was far beyond the typical bride.

I guess when you are marrying someone you truly love it makes no difference if the cake had a few issues in the 100 degree heat in an air conditioned car for four minutes, or her niece decided the bridal path was the best place to continuously booty scoot causing a few rips and tears an hour before the ceremony started, or even the fact that her father didn’t want to leave the house (Papa unfortunately has dementia.) The day was perfect according to her. Of course things worked out anyway. I was able to fix the cake and make sure the back was hidden from view (brides take note, there is always a back!), the rips and tears on the bridal path were fluffed to be nearly hidden, and Papa came after all and had a great time once he was there.

Funny how things have a way of either coming together or suddenly not being all that important if they don’t. Perhaps my aunt’s attitude of waking up and saying no matter what, today is perfect is something that can be applied to every day.
