Have you ever seen movies where people share their wedding day? OK, maybe that isn’t exactly how I want to share our special day. Many people are taught “Sharing is Caring”, but during wedding planning that doesn’t always come through. Sure, we share with our partner and with our family. However, the notorious bridezilla image invokes the me-me-me and more me sentiment.

Mr. Hot Wings is half of a twinsie set. His younger sister is 11 months younger than the twins. That makes them Irish triplets. In other words, siblings born within 12 months of each other. Going through Mr. Hot Wings’ photos, you rarely see a photo of him alone. He has shared every birthday and thought a lot about sharing and what is considered fair. He’s done this so much so that his research focuses on how small groups (3-5 people) make decisions. Anyway, I always use to ask him if he felt cheated because he never got his own birthday. (I mean, the guy had to share an egg in the womb too!) He just thinks that is such a silly question. First off, he doesn’t know it any other way. And secondly, why wouldn’t you want to share some of your happiest times with your favorite people!

I love this sentiment. I should have known I was always meant to be a twin! Looking back on some photos, I see that it’s always been in me to share the spotlight and the love!

Side note: apparently I have a thing for polka dots, too.

Ladies and gents, I want to share this sentiment with weddings and their respective festivities. Let’s share our day. Let’s share them with our loved ones. I’m not suggesting you have a friend wear a wedding gown and walk you down the aisle, necessarily. But I am calling on feeling good about sharing the love.

I’m sharing my wedding day with my family and friends. They are the people who helped to create the woman I am the day, the woman, wife, and mother that I will become. The marriage is ours, but I think the wedding is more for them than for us. It’s a way of showing them what they had a part in making. It’s a day of thanking them for their influence, love, and support. And this is why I’m happy about having our much-larger-than-average wedding. And it’s the reason why I’m so incredibly happy to have shared this time in my life with my many other girlfriends who have been and who are getting married right now. And it’s the reason why I had one of the best times last weekend with a great group of women and TWO bachelorettes. You read that right, TWO bachelorettes. What do you get when you combine 2 bachelorettes, 4 fun loving-easy spirited-beautiful-intelligent women, and Las Vegas? Debauchery is probably a good answer. Stay tuned for more on this matter and a special surprise.

How have you shared your wedding and all the festivities?
