My good friend Scott just told me about some friends of his who decided not to call their big day a wedding, but instead avoided THE W WORD altogether by inviting friends and family to join them in celebrating THE FIRST DAY OF THEIR MARRIAGE.
YES!
So. Brilliant.
(Especially as stress around THE W WORD is starting to trickle in a bit, I'm, like, totally head over heels for this idea. I mean, we'll see. But good God, that sounds healthy. It's not about a one-day-W-word. It's about every freakin' day, for keepsies.)
Bob and I talk about someday having a "Celebration of Love" that we invite people to, but not getting married. We'd just trick people into thinking we were, so I could justify buying a lot of flowers, and we'd get presents.
ReplyDeleteI know this would be wrong to do.
If you ever get an invite to join us for a celebration of love, don't be fooled.
It does sound healthy, doesn't it? (Unlike the Honeymoon Cookies, which do not sound healthy, just delicious!)
ReplyDeleteI love this!! It's never about one day, it's about every day. I look forward to reading your blog going forward. I love the first entry. It tells me all I'll ever need to know about your fiancé and why you are marrying him! Amy Stanley
