The Best Advice I Can Give…

October 3rd, 2007 @ 11:00 am by Mrs. Corn

I do have a lot to say about my wedding, but I am waiting until I have more consistent computer access before delving into all of that (for those of you waiting on bated breath for that to happen, I should have a new lappy around October 15). However, I do want to share the absolute, 100% best decision I made regarding the wedding because I believe if it can even help just one person, than it is worth sharing.

So what is it?

I brought a small notebook with me, and the morning after the wedding, when I couldn’t sleep because I had so many wonderful, happy thoughts pouring through my brain, I wrote them all down.

This may sound like a very simple thing to do, but the reality of the day for me was that from the moment they put the veil on me until about 2 hours into the reception, everything. was. a. blur. I tried so hard to be ‘in the moment’ and it just got away from me.

Having the notebook and writing down my most cherished memories from the day has not only provided me with a invaluable personal record of how special the day was, but it also served as an instant pick-me-up when I was so sad and depressed about losing my job. The day was filled with more joy than I ever imagined possible, and to have been able to capture some of that joy and continue to experience it has been priceless.

Great idea! We’re not leaving for our honeymoon until Monday, so that’ll be a great thing to do on Sunday. Along with opening our gifts :)

Sorry to hear about the job situation. I am sure thats tough, but maybe its a blessing as well. Now you can focus on finding what it is you really love to do. Take this time to cherish each moment of being a newlywed!

This is a great idea!

We took our guest book with us, and I wrote things in it on our honeymoon. Looking back I wish I would have written more because of how in the moment it was.
