Size Matters

I'm so excited about our 3-day autumn wedding, I wish we could share the celebration with 500 people! If we could invite everyone, I'd have my first babysitter attending, college professors, our travel companions from Costa Rica and Mexico, our new friends from our new jobs, every one of Brenda's Frisbee teammates, and the list goes on and on.

But such is life. We're supposed to keep it down to 64 folks due to space limitations. This brings a new level of intimacy to the weekend. Our wedding is not going to be a grand festival. It will be more like a family vacation. Or a reunion. Or a sleep-away camp, I suppose.

I like that we're celebrating our union this way - focusing on what matters most and re-uniting with our community of loved ones across 4 generations. We'll be outdoors, dancing and hiking and enjoying a barbecue. We'll sit around the campfire at night, telling stories to the tune of its crackling. There will be games of pool, and drinking games, and freeze tag.

We may have fewer people, but I already feel the love in more abundance.

I love that being with Brenda allows me to share in this. She's perfect for me.
