Enter into honesty.

Enter into honesty. I don't loooove wedding planning. I love marriage planning. The wedding isn't the excitement, its the marriage, so when I think about the planning involved and the details and decisions and money and who cares, it just gets to me. It has its moments where its fun and you feel like you're six all over again playing dress up and then realize this dress is real and you get to keep it--there are fun moments. But generally, I'd bypass it all just to married. After all, thats what I want.

I want to spend the nothing moments with my to be. The hanging out and late night convos. The its midnight but lets run to waffle house. Playing games together or sitting in silence, because we can. I can't wait to travel together, learn life together, share Christ together...thats what gets to me. Thats always trumped the wedding.

Today however, I feel a little more in love with the wedding planning part (I'm no less in love with the marriage part..) We arrived at Brasstown and on the daily schedule was "Lehren Smith Wedding Food Tasting" Ummm, yesss please. To say it was great would be an understatement. And I know, I know, I was hungry. But it was awesome. A. Ma. Zing. Time with the chef, they just kept bringing more food out--and light portions don't seem to be in their vocabulary--and it was tasty.

Menu set, one detail down, and I loved every second of it! I could be on board with planning like this. Too bad I can't eat the flowers tomorrow...but I do get to pick out the cake, it could be a good day afterall!
