She said she was tired of the wedding and ready for the marriage. Even though she helped plan it, it involved lots more time and effort than we knew at the start. And as she said, the wedding day festivities were for a few hours and the wedding was for a lifetime. During WWII, they recognized that, too.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-18179211886978979782011-06-08T15:06:04.149-05:002011-06-08T15:06:04.149-05:00OMG!

You're so right, that the emphasis was placed on the marriage, not the wedding. Thanks for sharing their story.

No fru-fru million dollar wedding--just an honest promise of commitment and a willingness to put pride aside in favor of compromise and consideration.

I know of too many marriages where a small fortune was spent on the wedding only to have it end in divorce a few years later (in one case it lasted less than a year).linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-86111398948897827702011-06-08T07:34:19.734-05:002011-06-08T07:34:19.734-05:00Lovely post.
