Priorities, Priorities.
While theoretically weddings are meant to be for the bride and groom (yeah, right!), the minute that rock hits your finger, the opinions come pouring in. Which is why, when I initially became engaged (circa October 2012), one of the first decisions we made as a couple was to list our top five unwavering values (as they related to our celebration) that, no matter what happened, we would not budge on at the likely chance we found ourselves seemingly overruled. I can't take credit for this idea - I read it on a wedding blog - but the list came in handy once or twice over the planning year, as the guest list took to an overwhelming size (on the actual day, we only had our desired 85!) and all frills were eliminated (per my request) from nearly every pre-wedding extravaganza (including the dress!). In the end, of course, my mother was right - a veil was that little extra something special - as she often is, and the ceremony (etc) was a clear representation of everyone involved, but most importantly (and especially) the two people who mattered most. Enjoy!
