Marriage vs Wedding

Aghhh!! This week has been the fastest slow week ever. Today is Wednesday and gratefully it is one more day closer to being Mrs. Peak (awkward) but also one day closer to monster wedding from HEO....:( (screened for parentals and minors sake) Anyway, in all the commotion of life and love and family, the wedding has been thrown to the dogs (this is mostly self-inflicted). I think my desires for cute centerpieces, flowy draping decorations, yummy cakes, elegant bridesmaids and perfect wedding favors has officially left the building. Dead and buried are those ideas and vain ambitions.


Now all that can be thought is, Temple/TVA/Graduation/Family/Graduate school (for the both of us)/Children/ Job/ Money.......LIFE!!!

What of decorations and food and invitations??? What of temporary things that don't last as long as we want them to?
Take a picture of a cute reception! Photoshop yourself in and dream up your perfect reception. Why?! Well you get everything you really wanted at the cost of $5 (the glue I need to buy to stick all the pretty pictures on my old presentation poster)


Behind all this I guess the reality is that weddings are cute and beautiful beginnings, but that's all they really are.....beginnings. Where you start doesn't affect where you finish. It's all in the in betweens, the journey, the climb (as Miley Cyrus so elegantly put it), the walk....it's what you do to get there and the how in getting there....if that is done right then you shall surely get there...where ever there may be for you.

For Michael and I, I'm pretty sure it's God-status, its eternal families, its endless joy and happiness.
