Wedding motto #2

 "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien."

- Voltaire

Loosely translated the sentiment is "the best is the enemy of good." ... Or in other words, stop driving yourself crazy for the best, most absolutely, supremely perfect things and start paying attention to all the perfectly good things your passing up along the way. 

I am forever trying to keep this in mind.

Wedding motto #1

Last year my best friend got married. The wedding was lovely and full of heart and held at the stunning Brooklyn Botanic Gardens in Brooklyn, New York (I might post some pics of it in the future). One of the best things about her wedding was a motto that her father thought up and would occasionally make us repeat (he eventually got a little drunk on the power of getting us to say the line anytime he wanted but we forgave him because of the wisdom of the motto).

I figured I would share, anytime people say to you, "but you have to have blah blah blah!" or "the guest will expect blooh blooh blooh" and you start feeling a little wedding- bonkers just repeat:

"It's NOT a production! It's a CELEBRATION!"

It seems obvious but trust repeating this every now and then can chase (at least some of) the crazies away.
