Since my last post, I have done a few more closings... that time was well spent getting certified and listing with the notary sites. I am so very glad that I did that.
I have done quite a few weddings lately as well and with each wedding there is always something that doesn't go quite as planned, from dropped rings to missing licenses to people coming up to us on the beach while we are doing the ceremony and then of course, the weather is sometimes an issue especially here on the coast. Whenever these things happen, I remind the bride and groom that every wedding needs a story and whatever went not as planned (I won't say went wrong)... it adds to the story of their wedding. Don't worry about the little things that go different than you planned, and keep the big picture in mind. Most of the time, the bride and groom are good sports and laugh off whatever the issue is and carry on. Just remember that life rarely goes as planned and if you let the little things bother you - life will be much more difficult. You have to have a sense of humor about life and all its ups and downs.
Remember the reason that you are there is to marry your love and as long as you are hand in hand, it will all work out and you will have a good story to tell down the road.
