This is going to be short and sweet.
Mark and I just encountered our first BIG hurdle after being engaged. Basically, what we have realized is that we can't please everybody. In fact, we shouldn't be pleasing anyone but ourselves!
This wedding is for us. Suggestions, inputs are very much appreciated, but in the end, it should be what we want that matters.
This goes right back to the very first advice we received after we got engaged last year.
"No matter what, just go with what YOU want. Remember, this is YOUR day."
And this really hit home today.
I agree, Arlene. It is your day and make sure that even though you make concessions for both of your parents, friends, or whoever... don't lose sight that this is your wedding day. Open communication lines so do what you want to do! :)
The engagement goes by really fast and next thing you know, the wedding is done. Make sure you make it what you want so you'll always remember it.
