Start Your Engines!

Start Your Engines!

The first person to say that life is a marathon, not a sprint, was obviously not planning their wedding! No matter how far in advance you book your caterer, find the perfect reception spot, and say yes to THE dress, there are always the dozens of other wedding day tasks that crowd those final months before the big day. My own wedding day became a cram session of seating charts, wedding favor assembly, and the search for shoes after a last-minute reconsideration of my ability to stand in 3-inch heels for 10 hours. And now, with the advent of reality television, the complex engineering that goes on behind-the-scenes of your wedding day are exposed, throwing brides-to-be into new heights of worry as we watch wedding cake disasters, dress stains, and wonder if this will happen on our own wedding day! The one ray of hope that I can provide is this: your wedding day will be the best day. It will not be perfect. It will be an expression of you as a couple, and of all of your hopes and your dreams for a life shared in deep and committed love. That’s better than perfect. So grab your over-stuffed wedding binders and your tabs and highlighters, book those dance lessons, and start your engines for the journey of a lifetime.
