So it turns out that planning a marriage ceremony can get real out of controle really fast. Social expectations, family expectations, crazy ideas that you get from reading too much material made to sell you some kind of shiny bull shit....the list goes on.So Bri and I decided to make a list. A list of focal points so that any time we start to get carried away or overwhelmed we look back at these and ask, is this think moving us towards these goals or not. I admit that this is easier said then done but you gotta give it a shot right.
What we want to accomplish for the wedding...
1. To bring together 2 already existing communities.
2. To keep God in the middle and frame the theme of the rest of our marriage together.
3. To create the day with as many members of the community as possible, making it a day that involves
everyone as participants in the joy not just observers.
everyone as participants in the joy not just observers.
4. To make it fun, not just fancy
5. To make as many things ourselves as possible.
6. To have everything benefit something we believe in as possible.
7. Spend no more then 2000 of the money we will build a life together with.
s This is the hope, may the God of grace who understands what pulls on us help us to not loose our way.
