About Mrs. Peep Toe

My wedding is next month and as I’ve been told: IT WILL BE THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!

I am sorry, but I kinda think that’s crap. I have no problems with it being ONE of the greatest days of my life, but I actually don’t want it to be my best day.

I see my life as a series of days: days that are happy, days that are sad, days where I don’t want to get off the couch, and days where I just want to get away from it all. I see my life today—and in the future—as a fantastic adventure full of ups and downs. I also see Mr. Peep standing (or sitting) right beside me each and every one of those days. I see him adding to my joy, making my life more interesting, and all in all, making me a better, happier person.

On our wedding day, we will be standing beside each other, holding hands, making a life-long commitment. I can only imagine that I will be crying tears of joy and smiling ear to ear, but I can’t imagine waking up Sunday morning and thinking, ’That was it. The best day of our life. GONE!! Over. Downhill from here.’

What I can imagine is waking up, jumping up and down on the bed, screaming, “WE’RE MARRIED!!” and looking forward to the day, imagining the adventure before us!!

That’s how I envision my day, and every day afterwards.

With a perspective, I’m Miss Peep.

What do you envision the best day of your life being?

I agree. Sometimes I feel like I’m more excited to wake up the next morning and say “Good morning, Mr. Snowflake” than I am about the actual wedding day.

Okay, that’s a lie. But it’s close second. :)

I agree. I don’t think your wedding should be the BEST day of your life. I think life should be filled with many BEST days, with a wedding being one of them!

I agree as well. I think a better day could be your 25th or 50th anniversary when you look ar Mr. PT and think how amazing it has been to spend so many great days/years with your best friend and soul mate. :)

I totally agree - if the wedding is the best day of your life, what is there to look forward to after that?!

I think that the wedding is a pivotal day that marks the first day of a beautiful marriage, and the best is yet to come. I’m a sap! :)

The best day of my life? Oh wow, my imagination could go CRAZY and dream up a day that probably would never even exist — but in reality, it’d probably just involve relaxing with Mr. Bruschetta and packing an amazing picnic to enjoy outside on a perfect weather day…it’s the simple things, ya know, and while I’m sure the wedding will be great, it’s not going to be, by any means, our “peak.” :-)

I totally agree! I think it will *one* of the best days of our lives, but I don’t think it will be *the* best day.
God I hope its not downhill from there :-/

I totally agree! Thats a lot of pressure to put on one day; a day filled with potential snags, misfires, etc. Besides, if the wedding is the best day of my life… what is there to look forward to? ;)

I LOVE your perspective. Too many brides focus on their wedding day… not what comes after it.

i agree miss peep toe. i wouldn’t want my wedding to be THE best day. the idea that my life has peaked isn’t very fun to look forward to. besides, that’s a lot of pressure to put on one single day. i’m much happier spreading it out amongst several pretty awesome days. :-)

Agreed. A fabulous day, and awesome day, one of the best days, but I think there are many more amazing days to look forward to as well. For us, although we were tired and busy getting ready for the honeymoon, my hubby and I kept spontaneously bursting into giggles and tearing up all day the day after the wedding….and still do almost three months later.

I agree. Not the BEST day. But a very cool, memorable day.

No one wants to pack it up and resign after getting married….especially with all the joy left to come.

I would say ‘the best day of my life’ will be a moving target, continuously being bettered by days that are better in different ways….because I was able to help a friend, because I accomplished something, because I married my best friend.

“The Best” has a lot of company is all I’m saying : )

I once heard a wedding toast that said something like: “Years from now may you look back on this day as the day you loved each other the least.”

That’s what I wish! I think my happiest day will be one where we’re old and gray and we’ve seen eachother through thick and thin and we know eachother better than we ever have.

Whew! Thank you! I have always felt the same way and was too nervous of what other people would think to say it.

I love my husband, I am so glad that I married him, and we had such a good day at our wedding… but it’s not even close to the best day of my life! Hands down, the best day ever was the day of our first date. Then there’s my graduation from graduate school… a memorable night in college with my best friend… And soon I’ll be delivering our first child, which I expect will be a path to many other ‘best days.’

I anticipate that if anything ever tops the day of our first date, it will be the wedding day of my children. My parents said that those were some of the best of their lives (also better than their own wedding), and seeing them on my wedding day proved it. I can’t imagine a better feeling than knowing that my child had found a loving life partner like I was fortunate enough to do.

I agree with you! I always thought that was complete crap that it is the ‘best day of your life’. What would there be to look forward too? I’m getting married at 21, there won’t be anything to look forward to for the next possibly 80 years? Awesome. I’m hoping I have a lot more greatest days, and not too many worst days.

Well, I think it will be the greatest day so far in my life…and I think that is perfectly okay! As more things come in the future, sure, they may one up the wedding day, but I am so looking forward to my wedding day…what I know will be the greatest day thus far ;)

You won’t know what the best day is until you die. And that’s how it should be. Otherwise why would we all keep going?

I believe we have many *greatest* days. The wedding day is just the start of them.

It could be the greatest day of your life SO FAR. But with possible greater days to come! That’s how I choose to look at it. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier or looked more beautifully radiant in any photos than I did on my wedding day. My gosh, my cheeks ached from smiling.

First off, I couldn’t agree with you more. Amen sister! I think that the greatest day of my life will be…well it’s hard to say as you’ve said! But one of the best days will be when I see my first baby (and all others) for the first time. I imagine that that will just be amazing!

I SO agree with you. Thank you for saying so. It’s a very important day of mine and Mr. Mary Jane’s, for sure. But I think there are more important days behind me and ahead. The day I graduate with my PhD, for example, will be another great day. I will have worked really hard for it (and we work really hard for our relationships too). The day I have my child/children will be great days. The day we buy our first house? Another great day. The wedding is one of several really great days - all with different qualities, and all live-changing. :)

AMEN! It’s the beginning of a journey of many “best” days… and HELLO, what about the birth of our children and stuff? :) Kinda like you can have more than one best friend, I think you have more than one best days.

i totally agree! i can only hope that it will be one of the most memorable and exciting days of my life. but, i refuse to believe that there wont be other amazing days that i look back and remember when im old and gray.

to this day, i think of one particular day as the best day of my life….i was in college….i woke up well rested…it was springtime, beautiful weather…i wore a new outfit i constructed from a local thrift store that i LOVED (and still do)…i walked to classes and hung out with friends…i had a picnic in the park with my new boyfriend (now fiance) and took photos of him with my favorite, vintage camera…i went to a live show with some friends…and at the end of the night, i went to bed thinking “that was the best day ever!!!”

sometimes its the little things and sometimes its the big things…but it should definitely be a mix of both!

I have to kinda disagree. We were married last July and I can’t tell you how often I look back and think of how awesome it was. We were surrounded by our favorite people, looking pretty fly and eating some awesome food, and didn’t have a care in the world. People keep telling us it’s the best party they’ve ever been to. So, it was almost like the “positive perfect storm.” Not that the days following them haven’t been great, but it really was the greatest day of my life … thus far!

I felt the same way. Our wedding day was an absolutely wonderful day, but I didn’t want it to be the BEST day. In fact, I don’t know if it even amounted to being as great of a day as the first time my now husband told me he loved me and knowing with my whole heart that I loved him too.

What what a great post! I have to admit I got a little teary eyed thinking about that morning when we can say “We are Married!”. I understand what you mean that it should be one of the best but not the best!
