Wedding Blog

Well, the secret’s out now. Our wedding totally degenerated into an episode of “Wedding Gone Wild“. Classy, eh?

I couldn’t imagine a better way to kick off our marriage than with a fantastically fun celebration with our closest friends and family. Vacation + Vows = Wondrous Weekend

It’s actually been a year and a half since our wedding. During the interviews with Modern Bride magazine, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could still remember that weekend so clearly. Or at least the moments that made me overwhelmed with unbridled joy.

To be completely honest, most of the details that the article featured were things I had trouble remembering or things of very little importance to me. I had to dig into my files to find out what dishes we chose to serve and what specialty drinks they made at the bar. They devoted several lines to describing our wedding cake flavors and our floral arrangements, but I confessed to the interviewer that I didn’t care much about these details and had mostly left them up to our coordinator.

I can understand why the editor chose to feature those details. They are the most useful to other brides because they are the only things that can be replicated. But one unfortunate consequence of bridal magazines focusing so much on material items is that it gives brides-to-be a wedding-industrial complex.

For me, the best details at our wedding weren’t monogrammed or meticulously arranged. As cheesy as it sounds, the best details were truly the tears, the hugs, and the laughs that Mr. Ant and I shared with our loved ones.
