I've been doing more on my list than I've been updating on, and I'll try to keep up with this here. But this one just happened on the weekend, and it was a great time.
There was a long time in my life that I just didn't ever see myself getting married. Didn't see the point, didn't understand why people would throw so much time and money into something so trivial that could be done at city hall, if even that. But family considerations made me realize that, for us at least, this wasn't about us at all, but about our families.
We're not from the same place and our families have never met. These days, our families rarely get to see us. This doesn't even begin to account for friends. So we agreed to basically throw a huge dinner party for loved ones. We invited lots of people and the vast majority actually showed up, which was really a powerful statement to us. Most came from far away and had to make serious investments of time and money to do so.
So we felt loved, we brought people together, saw old friends, facilitated people making new friends, and had a great time. It was a lot of work, and I never want to do it again, but it was spectacular.
