That Special Day?

My I-survived-finals reward to myself was to get a Pintrest. I managed to justify this by explaining to my better conscience that I don’t have any way to be inspired in the area of home decorating, being artsy, fashion, etc. Such dearths must certainly be remedied.

So I proceeded to remedy... For one hour in the first setting.

Poorly done, Katie. Poorly done.

In the midst of repinning, it is impossible to overlook the fact that almost every girl on Pintrest has an entire Board and hours of thought devoted to none other than one twenty-four hour span... Her wedding day.

I wonder how many dollars are spent on American weddings each year...

What an incredible and blessed day, but what an inadequate representation of a marriage- an event that continues on until death do us part. Our minds jump to the wedding day but forget the marriage it begins.

May my focus be not on a dress I’ll wear once nor on a cake my guests will consume in thirty minutes nor on the venue nor on colors... May my focus be on the demeanor I’ll wear every day of marriage, the food I’ll prepare to serve my man, and the home I will make for his comfort and pleasure.

Marriage bells are ringing. :)
