Still have a few weeks to go but I don’t have expectations. It’s mostly an outdoor wedding so anything can happen. If something goes wrong, it will probably be small in the grand scheme of things. And if it’s big, it will probably make a memorable story. Expectations set ourselves up to be let down. I prefer to put that energy into being prepared since that’s what I *can* control.
I didn't really have too many expectations but I was worried that I'd be tired of all the attention lol but adrenaline kicked in and it was the best weekend of my life!!
Honestly, the only thing I was surprised about was how little I got to hold or see my bouquet. It’s so trivial and our day was so wonderful but it was my one surprise reality.
Also, I didn’t plan this but was so glad it worked out. I managed to spend about 5 minutes with my husband underneath our wedding arch looking at the view during the reception. It was a spur of the moment decision but it was so private and intimate —even our photographer left us alone! I knew we’d be pulled in a million directions all day but I was surprised by how nice it was to take a little break together and let the reality that we got married sink in
