I know everyone wants to have the perfect wedding, but sometimes I think we get so involved in all of the planning that we forget what it's all about.
This is what we are trying desperately to avoid! We want to look at this as a long elopement, and if people want to come and share it with us, great! It's hard not to be emotional about it though, even though I was married once before.
