Raindrops on Roses...
If you go gaga over a themed wedding or find yourself singing “Favorite Things” in the shower like I frequently do… you will adore this wedding.
Hell, you’ll like this wedding either way. Thank you amorology weddings for sharing.
MODERN L0VE
Sometimes I’m a love lover. Sometimes not so much. But I always enjoy reading the Modern Love articles published weekly to the New York Times.
My favorite, of course, are ones by college students who have such a beautiful and unique perspective on that little thing called love.
Kindergarten Wedding
Check out this blog post and beautiful photography about the annual Kindergarten wedding at Berry College.
The cynic in me wants to say this is a little weird… maybe creepy? But the whole point was to teach the value of love and friendship. I can’t protest to that.
The New Marriage Rule: Age Matters
I’m not sure if Cosmo is really credible in any topic other than “Top 10 Sexiest Things to Do With Your Tongue,” but this article about relationship success and age was pretty interesting. And don’t flip through your latest edition looking for the article about sexy things to do with your tongue, I made that up.
Do all little girls really dream about the day they’ll marry? I mean honestly, every bride on Say Yes to the Dress or Platinum Weddings claims they have been dreaming about their big day since they were a little girl.
Where are the girls out there who couldn’t care less about their wedding let alone what future down payment on a house they’ll be blowing on a dress they’ll wear only once? Just one time I want to hear some girl say, “When I was a little girl I was dreaming about getting an elephant for christmas and then taking it to the moon with me…not about my wedding.”
Let me clarify. I am a wedding lover. Watch all the reality shows, go to the wedding expos, subscribe to the magazines…the works. But the older I grow and the more I fall in love and sometimes fall out of love, I become more skeptical about the marriage thing.
My hate relationship with weddings started at a later age. Once I matured a bit (which is now?). With the divorce rate at about 50% I wonder, does getting married really ruin a relationship? Are the men who always say “Good luck buddy…” or “This is the beginning of the end of your life…” really right? Now, I can hear all you who took psychology muttering under your breath..”“Oh, she must have come from a broken home with no positive examples of love.” Blah blah blah. A la contraire, my friend. I am a firm believer in love and relationships. I don’t think couples are doomed to fail from the start, but their are some couples who just dont give a shit and would rather spend their marriage in misery than work on their issues. It’s these people who give marriage a bad rap. Poo poo on you.
Either way, in my little heart or hearts I am starting to believe that a wedding really isn’t the best way or the only way to commit to another. Superficial things like a licensee or a ring really aren’t going to seal the deal. Still, beliefs aside, I one day will hopefully be getting married. I mean, you can’t pass up that party.
