About a week ago, I attended two different weddings. They were very different, and I noticed something very important about the difference as well. Let’s see if you can figure it out, too.
Wedding #1 vs. Wedding #2
Date:
Wednesday
Saturday
Place:
Outside locale, both weddings
Time:
6 p.m. summer heat, in the sun
7 p.m. summer evening, in the shade
Length of service:
3 minutes, tops
15 minutes
Friends and Family attending:
No more than 40
More than 150
Theme:
Renaissance
Summertime flowers
Bride Wore:
White Satin dress with black belt and rainbow fairy wings
White Satin dress cinched at the waist that made her look like an angel
Reception:
6 tables with no interaction, only traditional part was the cake that was white
Beautiful layout of food, friends and family all talking and dancing, and two beautiful cakes
Conversation overheard from guests:
Keeping the bag from her tummy tuck hidden, even though she (and her girlfriend) was telling everyone about it anyway, along with how drunk they were going to be that weekend.
How they knew the couple or anyone else in attendance… fun, family-friendly conversations.
When I left:
I felt sorry for them, wondering how they’re going to make it
I felt excited about their new beginning.
Can you tell the difference?
I can.
What a difference God makes.

Seriously? Amazing what a fashion advisor could do as well...
I think the idea of a beautiful outdoor wedding is great, but if and when I get married, I'll definitely be avoiding that summer sun! ugh, sweating in my wedding dress? not for me!
