When You Sweat the Small Stuff

Apparently it’s the National Day of Writing or whatever. Too bad I barely want to write. I’m dealing with this looming question mark hanging over my head…

To have a wedding or not to have a wedding. Major stressing about money and my lack thereof. Wedding bands, a venue, food…who to invite and who not to invite. Who will officiate? How much will all this cost? I don’t like this feeling.

I spoke to Matthew and I know that he wants something special. Not extravagant, but something more than a party that can be planned in a weekend. As for me, I’d love to just have a party and exchange vows during it. Boom! Married. No fuss.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to have a ceremony, too. I’m just worried about finances, and I know that I need to just drop that and just focus on what’s important: I’m going to marry the love of my life.


To keep this short (and bittersweet), I’ll finish up with reflecting on an article I read about Oprah. Yes, Oprah. She was talking about some cool people she’s met, including this one young person who passed away and spoke about how simple life actually was. It’s not about amassing material possessions or having all your dreams come true. It’s about relationships. With God, with family, with friends. With yourself.
