How good it is if you can achieve your desires and not follow the herd.
My son James married the love of his life Marie couple of weeks ago. They wanted a special day designed by them at a cost they could afford with the special people around them they wanted to attend – a normal wedding then?
They achieved it with an intimate party of guests (family and best friends), married in the historic City of York (their preferred location) arriving and departing in an art-deco antique coach (charabanc). They made their own invitations, friends and family made the cake, bouquets, table decorations with other friends called in to provide professional photography and entertainment. They were married by a member of our family too – so real family affair.
They achieved their wish of walking down the ancient ‘Shambles’ in York for a stunning photo shoot followed by a meal with guest choice of food at their favourite award winning Gastropub in North Yorkshire in a picturesque snowy scene.
The memories will be all the sweeter I believe for them not following the herd but following their own desire and the personal involvement in really making every aspect of this very special day.
How much can we all benefit in life with satisfaction by being hands-on rather than delegating.
Heart felt wishes for a long and joyful marriage.
