looking back…
photography above by Leigh MillerIn college, when “everyone” was getting married, we had marathon wedding summers. (I had to pay for my own travel, gifts, throwing bridal parties etc.) Most wedding were spent taking notes on what I liked and would and wouldn’t do at my own wedding.
In high school wedding were rare, mysterious and only a few high school friends immediately got married. (My parents paid for the gifts:)
In middle school… weddings were for “adults” lots of talking, you had to sit still and be quiet, kinda boring. (Gifts? I wasn’t expected to give gifts.. that’s what mom and dad are for.)
In primary school and before weddings were “magical”. Big dresses, fancy shoes, kinda like dress up. I had no idea how decisions were made, what kind of flowers were in season or how much live music costs. As a kid to be involved in a wedding as a flower girl was very cool. Maybe that’s one reason we had so many kids in our own wedding.
For more on kids and planning.. check out an old post here.
