Dear readers, my first Wedding Wednesday post feels like it was such a long time ago! I come across as very sweet and naive, reading it now; since June 13, 2012, I've became a bit jaded and cynical about the whole wedding planning process. But I'm glad I got over the initial discomfort and blogged throughout our engagement because now we have this wonderful diary of how we created the day on which we'll celebrate our love and commitment. I bet we'll enjoy looking at these posts for years down the road!
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read, commented on, and emailed about my Wedding Wednesday posts over the past 14 months. Your advice and support has been amazing as we've gone through the highs and lows of planning this and I really don't think we could have done it without you. From reminding me about the vows that really matter to assuring me that bling is a good thing to holding my hand during visa crises to suggesting different options for nailpolish - well, you're just as much a part of this wedding as anyone even if you won't be there. Thank you.
However, I also want to confirm something: I know that our wedding will not be the apex of our marriage. If anything, things will get even better after August 24! Jon and I are both very aware that this is just one day. It will be a wonderful day, an opportunity to share our relationship with our friends and families, but it's just a day. What happens after that is the real celebration, and we can't wait to be hand in hand for the rest of our lives.
That being said, next week I'd love to hear your one single piece of advice for our wedding day. I know that some of you are fiancées and recent brides, but I also know that many of you got married a while ago and more still aren't yet near engagement. No matter where you are on your journey, even if you don't ever want to get married, I know you have opinions and thoughts on weddings! (We all do. It's okay.) I would be absolutely honored if you'd write a post next Wednesday with the most important wisdom you can give to a couple about to get married; what should we be sure to do (or not do!) on our wedding day?
There won't be a sponsor link-up here in August because I paused sponsorships for the month, but let me know in the comments if this is something you're interested in participating in and I'll set it up! I know a few of you feel like you missed out on Wedding Wednesdays because you didn't blog through your engagement or like you can't do Wedding Wednesdays even though you might want to now and again because you're not engaged yourself, but this is your chance! What do you think?
Speaking of what do you think... my sister is looking for some inspiration. Does anyone know where she can find some?
