There is an incredible amount of physical and emotional energy that goes into planning a wedding. But once you have some of it done, the rest is easy. I find it funny how sometimes I'm obviously buying something wedding related or the subject comes up and women all around drop what they're doing to listen to my story and tell their own.
Now there have been a few instances where the idea of a fairy tale didn't light the hidden, womanly, love lamp. I was fabric shopping and a very nice lady named after a pizza parlor came and offered assistance. Well actually, she noticed my notebook and thought it was a cookbook. She inquired if I have cookbooks and I told her my church sells one and she gave me her number. Then she kindly led me through the store showing me fabric, none of which I decided to buy. I thought of the loveless lamp again when I met the woman whom destiny,necessity, and better prices have chosen for my florist. I stood on the front porch of her house/shop and knocked repeatedly on the door while her fat,short-haired cats, rubbed my ankles. SICK. She led me in and I went through little books searching for the perfect flowers. My future florist left me alone with some of her other cats and trotted about making bouquets. I wonder if the magic has worn off for her because she knows how even the most beautiful of flowers are quickly fading. She was in the kitchen banging like a mad woman when in walked Ricky, a paragon of redneck pride. He stared at me then wafted by on a cloud of second hand smoke as he marched into the kitchen and kissed my future florist. Yaaaa.... That's what I thought.
Almost everyone gets excited about weddings. I think its safe to say no one gets as excited as those getting married but I love it when my friends and others around me take a personal interest in this celebration and work to make it their own as well.
I'm not the only one planning a wedding celebration these days but while I have 3 months, He's had to wait 2,000 yrs for a bride in love with "cookbooks" and a fading delight with the wedding flowers.
Lets celebrate His wedding this week shall we? Loves and Hugs~ Sonya

"Wafted by on a cloud of second hand smoke." Ha ha! Quite descriptive.
