Weddings Weddings Weddings

Long time no wedding blog. However, the New Year puts weddings on the brain. Last weekend, on New Years Eve, my niece got married. You have to love ending the year with a celebration such as this, and beginning a new life journey together.

This weekend we celebrate with Reno's niece as she exchanges vows with her Prince Charming. Following that I work two bridal shows courtesy of my job. This time of year the brides come out in force to plan those weddings. Very similar to the chant "gentlemen - start your engines" the rally is "ladies - plan those nuptials".

That is just the way of it. The holidays are over, summer is a long way away, kids are already in school.....there must be something to shop for! Weddings!!

All kidding aside, okay, most kidding aside. Most of us believe in marriage. Frankly, we need every reason we can get to celebrate. We love to dress up - well the women do. We love the ceremony just like men love football. We love to plan, to prepare, to primp, to pose and to party. Who of us wouldn't like another day just to shine?

And, lest I forget, who wouldn't like a partner to share the journey through life with? Now there is a reason for celebration, a reason to say I do.
