Wedding Frenzy

Late last night, after Jake seemed to be waking up and Daniel was snoring, I decided to watch a little TLC. I have never watched Say Yes To The Dress but I have to admit I have watched Bridezillas on many occassions (horrible, I know). I don't know why in the world I subject myself to such idiocy and nastiness. We all know what Bridezillas is about, well, just that. Horrible women who think they are queens because they happen to be getting married. BIG DEAL. Say Yes To The Dress had fewer wreched women though I thought some of them should be smothered with the veils they thought were too short or the sashes they thought were "hideous". I got to thinking about my own wedding and the upcoming weddings I already have on the calendar for this summer. I went to sleep with weddings in my head and awoke around 3:45 pondering this one question: Is it the greatest day of your life? I would have to say that it is not. No. Noooooo. Honestly, I did not come to that conclusion because I was aggravated at the fact that I was again up much sooner than I would have liked. It's just an honest and very genuine reality for me and I think many. I have been married for almost eleven years and though my wedding day was beautiful, it was far from the greatest day of my life. Daniel and I have had some wonderful days together and have shared far more memorable moments since that one day. That's right. One day. Not even a day. More like a few hours. Saying your wedding day is the greatest day of your life is like saying high school was the best time in your life. I alway laugh and die a little inside when people say that high school was the best time in their life. How could that be? You have so much to experience after high school. A life that is just waiting to be lived. A wedding day is like those four years in high school. It's stressful, has some glimmers of greatness, causes acne, and might give one some good pictures to remember it by. I'm not sure what the greatest day of my life will be but I know for a fact it won't be my wedding day. It doesn't even rank in my top ten. Thank goodness. That would be sad. At least for me, it would be sad. To anyone getting married and reading this: Don't let your wedding day be THE day. Make it great, be thankful to those around you who want to experience such a day with you and most of all, be excited about the future. Your day is in there, somewhere. It's just waiting to be given the label of Greatest Day of Your Life!
