My dream wedding -
Growing up, like many little girls, I dreamed about getting married some day. As a Mormon, I'd wanted to get married to a return missionary in the temple for time and all eternity--and I believed that was possible too. As I grew and lived my life I became less comfortable with the "time and all eternity" part and my dream wedding changed too. I have been married and, while it wasn't my "dream" wedding, I did expect to be married for the rest of my life. I was disappointed that my marriage didn't "work" as I'd plan though I don't regret that time of my life.
Now, I don't dream about getting married as much as I dream about finding my Last First Kiss...that man I share a first kiss with for the last time in my life. Sure, a part of me thinks about what it would feel like to trust him so much that I'd consider marrying him, signing the papers and making it official. I also wonder if I've already found him but don't know it but that's a separate conversation.
The challenge is to describe my "dream wedding" though, not talk about why I don't want to get married again. So...what's my "dream wedding?"
Like my "perfect first date," my dream wedding starts with the right guy and because I want our wedding to be something we both love, MY dream wedding includes his wants and likes. A wedding on the beach with my friends and family sounds great but so does standing in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. More than anything I want to be with my man and with my family. If his family is as important to him as mine is to me, then I want his family with us too.
I do have a message for my Last First Kiss: I love you.
