This weekend we were working on our wedding invitations. In amongst the mayhem of sketching, planning, measuring, cutting, discussing, testing, rejecting and trying again, I had a bit of time to reflect on things. At times this reflection was rising to panic; but on Sunday we met with the lady in charge of the venue and somehow it became obvious that everything was starting to slot into place. So, calmed, I came back to reflection.
There is a lot of advice on wedding blogs and websites and forums to the tune of 'don't get into arguments with your future spouse'. But I have found nothing saying that getting into arguments with your future spouse is inevitable, and that it's the way you come out of it that's important. Well, a few flare ups between us have shown that it's inevitable, but we came through, and perhaps now have even more respect and love to show for it.
This week's postcard was super simple, but super poignant.

A good phrase to ponder.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right - being too scared to actually thrash something out doesn't work.
Panic and arguments, are all part of life, and make us who we are - the fact that you're very down to earth and level headed, always brings you back in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a fight is very good!so you can go on with a fresh look!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I hope that the wedding plans don't cause too much upset. I really want you to enjoy as much of the planning as you can. Another lovely postcard x
ReplyDeleteThat is a great quote. Lots of luck that the remainder of your planning runs smoothly!
