Focus on the marriage not the wedding...


When the wedding bells have stopped their ringing, its the sound of your love that fills the air.
Whether fighting or talking or loving or breathing....its you and him left there.

No one's there to help you pick out your Sunday meal, or the dress you'll wear.
Its just you and him trying to show each other you care...

It's the marriage, not the ceremony that matters most.

Don't worry about the flowers, or the dress, or even if your hair is a mess (as mine was :) Focus on the marriage...

My husband and I made a point to focus on the marriage, tried not to sweat the small stuff...and now almost 4 years later are still building the foundation of what we hope to be a very successful venture (relationship). I think I am more in love with him now then I was the day of our wedding... I didn't know him as well then....it was a big risk...And now life would be risky without him! I am so in love!

"I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that." — Brian Andreas (Story People)

The photo above shows a loving set of couples....so cute, so young, a first date? A set up? A dance partner? Circa 1915 Enjoy!
