Gosh, has it been that long since I last posted? Well I did warn you that I was in the busy final moments of a semester at uni...
Now for weddings:
More and more as time passes I am leaning towards a small family affair. Originally I had imagined a massive party, inviting as many people as possible to celebrate the occasion but the more I think about it the less it seems to make sense.
Firstly, my partner and I are by no means financially comfortable (hello, I'm a student!)
Secondly, a wedding is such an important milestone, one to which it is an honour to be invited. Why should I spend money and effort on trying to include as many as possible just for the sake of it? Some friends come and go, and I for one am not keen on the idea of inviting a friend to share in my most special of days only to look back on it 5 years down the track when we're no longer in touch and rethink that decision. Also, while extended family still counts as family, if we don't see each other that often in our everyday lives, I'm not going to feel 100% comfortable hosting you and your significant other.
It just makes sense to me to include those that you love, those that know you intimately and who you know intimately. Anyone else is kind of superfluous.
Sure, it might make for a 'boring' guest list, filled the names of those you see so often. But those people also hold a special place in your heart, and who else could be better to witness your marriage?
