I think every girl envisions their wedding a certain way and I was NEVER one to think that I would have a small wedding. I always thought that a large wedding would be the way to go for me, but suddenly I am beginning to doubt that and look at other options.
What do people picture as the ideal wedding, besides the whole church ordeal? A beach. Waves crashing behind you as you say your vows. Dinner on the beach afterwards. Beautiful, right? Yeah, we think so!
I mean, who wouldn't want to spend the evening laughing with family while viewing a scene like this one below?
I took that photo in New Jersey, on the lowest point of New Jersey, at a restaurant called Harpoon Henrys.But, in all seriousness, I am thinking that.. my parents, Bretton, my grandparents, Robert's dad, Bonnie, and us go to the beach, wherever we pick and get married. Then, the next weekend, come back and have a beautiful, huge reception for all of our friends and family to celebrate with us.
Another shot from New Jersey... but, seriously, suddenly all I can think of is how beautiful a small, intimate wedding will be. We sit here and think.. we are looking at a $10,000 wedding and in fact, we are paying so much money for a party! Its just a party that is costing us to much. Well, we can throw a party for a heck of a lot cheaper. The ceremony is what means the most to me, when Robert and I say our vows.
So, we will throw the party cheaper. We will have food made by my family and maybe The Ville, where I work, get some kegs, maybe a DJ but that depends on where we have it at, and celebrate with ALL of our family and friends. We will have a wedding cake and enjoy the day.
Honestly, the more that I think about it, the more that I can't stop smiling because it just feels so right.
If it feels right, then it probably is right, huh?
