Wedding Tactics

Dear Readers,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this to you today, just over two years after I wrote my first posting here on Wedding Tactics.

It has been a pleasure to bring you wedding-related information and often times, wedding-un-related information. Thank you for seeing me through my own wedding ups and downs, and for giving me great fodder and etiquette questions to ponder over the years.

Weddings are really great times. They signify the merging of two families, two people coming together attempting to swim the murky waters of life and make a life together in happiness. I will warn you, the blissful feelings of your wedding day will fade in time, like rain clouds move in on a sunny picnic. Those clouds will drop rain but that too will pass and the grass will dry out again. A wedding is a day, an event, a celebration. A marriage is for life, at least it is intended that way and it should be. Marriage is difficult and trying at times and I caution you to take a moment in those harder times and remember the feelings of your being wedding day. Remember the flowers and the smiles and the kisses and why you decided to do it all in the first place. Remember how perfect you felt together walking hand-in-hand back down the aisle as a married couple for the first time.

Wedding planning can get hectic and emotions run high.  I urge you, don’t let the little problems get the best of you.  Remember what ultimately matters at the end of the day and what is most important.

This will be my last regular posting here on Wedding Tactics and I’m sad to be leaving, really, but as you well know, life moves on and I’m now juggling a family and more responsibility than I ever dreamed of on that one fateful day when I walked a rose-petal lined aisle under a cloud-less blue Florida sky where palm dreams looked like the did in my dreams. I have to cut back on some freelancing because there are only so many hours in the day.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for following my own wedding and for letting me be a part of your happiness.
