Everything was under control. We'd ordered the flowers and bought our clothes and tasted the food. People were booking rooms, gifts were arriving. The playlist was beginning to take shape. I had a couple of details to take care of. Things like Buy a Guestbook and Finalize Guest Count. But there was nothing immediately pressing and I mostly just wanted to skip forward two months to this big party with all our friends and family.
Then I remembered the ceremony. That fifteen minutes that is technically the whole point of the day. When we make our vows and say something flowery about love and everyone cries or tries not to cry.
You all don't mind if we skip that part, right? You're just coming for the open bar, anyway.
Kidding.
I spent some time looking for readings, but everything felt too sappy or too religious or just wrong in some way. Or they'd already been used at our friends' weddings. I looked and looked and couldn't find anything that seemed like it might work.
So I asked Kevin to help, and he found two perfect readings in about half an hour. I have no idea how he did it except to assume that he's magical. Really, he was probably smarter about searching for them.
There are still probably some details to iron out, but I feel more in control of the ceremony now. If all goes well it should be short and sweet and perfect for the two of us. And then there will be good food and drinks and what promises to be a pretty awesome party.
