It was set to be a perfect day. And it was.

Without any of us knowing, this was to be the very last wedding before we entered shutdown. So Ive had plenty of time to reflect.

Here are some things Ive learned.

Celebration is amazing. Dancefloors are amazing. Incredible food, shared with people is Amazing. Dressing up is amazing. Friends are amazing. Beautiful places that spend time, effort and money on upkeep are amazing. Sunsets are amazing. Live music is amazing. Spending the weekend somewhere else is amazing. Making huge life promises is amazing.

Now that things are returning to normal, dont lose sight of these things. I encourage you (the person getting married who might be reading this) to deeply enjoy your wedding. Because they are so awesome. And especially now, when we’ve learnt firsthand that these things can be taken away.

So, Plan a day like Jenna and Sam did. Because this is everything we’ve been missing.
