Weddings And Honeymoons

Went on for thousands of miles

I know this goes against earlier statements of no-one else to impress but yourself, but these are the lessons we learn.....

Due to the fact that i very recently got married, i have come to the realization that even when you go against everyone else's wishes and expectations, there is still a light at the end of the tunnel!

I thought getting married was going to be simple.......fun........... individual........romantic......refreshing.......you know what it was like? Frustrating, anxiety driven, closing, rushed, loving, supportive and mean.

I know it sounds like I didn't enjoy it, but i did, to a point.

I enjoy the fact that i married the love of my life. I love that i have a beautiful extended family. I love that i really do feel independent. But i didn't enjoy, the trying to please others, listening to everyones ''opinions" Everyone's expectations, who can not sit where, what people don't like which, people thinking that it is their wedding and the fact that it went so quick that i don't remember a lot of it, and some people, although have been in your life for a long time, simply are not invited. And as a result, took it to heart and no longer feel like talking to us! Interesting..........Weddings do funny things to people..........

Time to Stop.

Never the less Hubby and I were looking forward to the honeymoon. Did i mention that Hubby thought it was romantic to "go with the flow" "take us where the road leads"

You know what? It actually was the best holiday i ever had.

The hardest thing that i find in my life for me to do is to take time to do nothing. sit. do. nothing.

And thats exactly what we did. We watched every sunset, drove for thousands of kilometers, stopped along highways and looked and every wildflower in the area. Took thousands of photos.  love photos. Never took the time to take them before.

Have come back from Honeymoon and Wedding a better person. I laugh more, sleep more, take more photos, and appreciate the simple things. 

Lesson Learnt.
