Our wedding was such a special day. The weather, the venue, the time of day, the food was perfect. We had the wedding party come down early so we went rafting one day and then had to prepare the rest of the time. It was amazing to have all our family and friends send us off at the end of the day. The best way to start our life together:)
BTW: The kiss at the alter was both of ours very first! Ask me more about how we did it and why.
Hey Lindsay!! Just wanted to say hi and that I like your blog. :) I was actually wondering about this...I heard little bits about it at the wedding, but I was too shy to ask. (But you said I could now, so I will!) Why did you wait until the wedding to kiss? Just out of simple curiousity. I still haven't kissed anyone yet...but I'm not very happy about it...oh well. :) Talk to ya later! - Mandi
ReplyDeleteMandi,
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you!
Well, the short version is that I told myself in 6th grade or so that I wouldn't kiss anyone because we I had some older friends that did it and I saw their weddings and how strong their marriages were after(and still are today).
But as I went along I found that it was an excellent way to tell if a guy really likes you.I was able to sort through a lot of losers that way.
My dad always told me that our emotional hearts are like paper and every time we are physical with someone it tears and a piece is given to that person.
And when Zeph and I already knew we loved each other, we just decided to keep going to save our hearts for marriage simply because we wanted to give our entire hearts to each other.
It is pretty radical and people sometimes think you are weird, but I thought it was worth it to have a whole heart.
Haha, that was not a very short version...maybe I should turn this into a post:)
You should!!! That's a good way to look at it. It makes me feel better anyway. :) I'm probably the only one of my friends who hasn't kissed a boy yet. But that's because I never found a person I've wanted to kiss (yet). And I wish more people thought like that...so many girls in my high school give so much more than a kiss to boys and I think it's really sad. Especially because high school relationships never last. Our brains are still developing and I think no high schooler is emotionally mature enough for a serious relationship. But they just want to grow up, they want to be adults. I wish they realized that relationships can wait. We have the rest of our lives for that. A biology teacher I had last year said something that I thought was very insightful. He was talking about high school, and that this should be a time that we take for ourselves. Not that we should be self-absorbed, but just that this is a time to find out our individual identities. And I agree with him. Well it's ok, I'm not very good at writing short responses either. :)
