Kody and I went to a wedding of the son of his parents' family friends. It was a beautiful wedding with an ice blue, black, and white. It was so much different than the many weddings I have gone to with Kody, and I have to say I really liked it.
I got some great decorations out of it and I was able to discuss many things about what Kody and I want with his family. We are slowly getting things nailed down. I am really getting into this whole wedding planning.
One thing, however, that bothers me is the intolerance of some people there. I know you will find it anywhere, but this is a wedding (a happy time), yet people seem to be so judgmental. At the traditional Catholic ceremony, there are many Catholic rituals that I don't take part in. One, I am not Catholic. Two, because I am not Catholic, I don't believe in doing them. Some people were looking around judging those who chose not to partake in the rituals, which I didn't think was fair. It was almost as if I was not "Godly" enough because I didn't take communion, or do some of the chants, or that cross motion over my head. I very much am a Christian, but I don't need to partake in those aspects that I do not believe are Biblically sound. It is between God and I. Not those who chose to judge me.
There are just so many things about a wedding I never think of that make my mind boggle. It is SO expensive to get married. I want a nice wedding, but I am fine with the low-end everything. I am a broke college student trying to get by, and paying for a wedding was absolutely not in my college budget. I am doing whatever I can, but as payments begin rolling around, I am going to struggle.
I just have to remember it is the marriage that matters. Not the wedding itself.
