Now----------as a famous broadcaster would say, here is the rest of the story.
We hear it all the time, those of us here at BBP who not only serve as coordinators for Bobbi, office schmoodles [extraordinaire] who are also question answerers, confidantes, and mother hens. (Yes, that would be moi!)
"When the wedding album is done then the wedding is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It strikes me when wearing my mother hen hat that is, that the wedding itself might be over but the feeling and the mushy love never should be. In talking to past brides and from henly experience I offer a few tricks to stay in wedding mode.
- Order 25 of your favorite wedding photos, those that really make you say "aaaawwwwww". Tuck them one at a time inside an envelope (with a sweet thought on them) into briefcases or luggage throughout your first year. After the first year, keep up the practice!
- Don't stop planning those little anniversary dinners (happy we've been married 3 months and 5 days honey!) Decorate the table with a photo or two and wear your garter. :)
- Plan your first wedding anniversary. Make a folder if you like, (you know you miss those wedding binders--- admit it!) Keep details, make plans----------
- Look at your photos together and often! Many of the great marriage counselors say the number one trick to keeping in love as much as you were on your wedding day is to always remember how you felt when you married your love.
- Bake (*or order) a small version of your wedding cake and serve it at a party!
- Order at least one artistic photo of yourself from the Big Day as a large canvas. Enjoy it!
- You're a family now------- have family portraits taken once a year. It gives you a chance to talk about the wedding, how things have changed and to track your lives as you grow.
- Keep the love alive and growing!!!!
