Love in the Details

Love in the Details: focus on each other

by Anjula Caldwell on February 3, 2010

The weekend finally arrives. He puts the final touches on the plans for the moment he’s going to propose. He sweeps you off his feet. You dress to impress after you hear he’s taking you out for a nice night on the town. He tells you how much he loves you and gets down on one knee while simultaneously pulling out the ring. You say “YES!” He takes you to your favorite restaurant for a romantic table for two set aside with the champagne chilling for your celebration. Immediately the next day, you go online and start researching what colors you want your wedding to be. Should he wear a tux or a suit? What’s my dress going to look like. I wonder if I should start looking for it tomorrow. The details begin to pile up. They are intense and plenty. As the months go along, your conversations shift from, “How was your day at work, Honey?” to “Do you like these colors for our wedding?” “What do you think about wearing a three piece suit instead of a tuxedo?” Soon enough your conversation revolves around one of the happiest days of your life. It’s an incredible journey and the planning needs to be done. Just remember not to forget your fiance in the middle of it all . Include conversation that has nothing to do with the wedding, but everything to do with each other. Plan a date night where you leave your planning folder at home and only bring ears to listen to how he’s really doing. Take time to sit in joyful silence and appreciate the reason you’re traveling down the marriage road in the first place. You are marrying your best friend, the person you want to be with forever. Take time to appreciate him. Love the details, but remember to keep your Love in focus when you’re in the midst of them.
