Why My Wedding Wasn’t the Best Day of My Life

Before you start wondering what horrible incident happened on my wedding day, think again! Whether you’re married, engaged, or a wanna-be-wifey, what expectations did/do you have for your wedding day? What disappointments did\will you encounter? As far as disappointments go- I guess, if I were honest, arguing with my family more than necessary & not having the biggest budget in the world would be my first thoughts. Expectations? Well, my wedding was planned and executed in 90 days, so I would say I always expected to have more time, but then again I never wanted a long engagement, and I expected it to be the best day of my life.

But guess what?? MY. WEDDING. WAS. AMAZING. 75 degree days in July never happen in Indiana, but it happened for me, on my wedding day (still can’t believe it)! I didn’t have a dress catastrophe, my cake wasn’t smooshed in my face, I had ZERO bridesmaid drama (yes you read that correctly), and every one (looked) like they were having the BEST time at the BEST wedding EVER.

But it still wasn’t the best day of my life, and here’s why…

Because I’ve had so many “best days” since saying “I Do”.

First, what’s not to love about waking up to the hottest guy in the world EVERY DAY?? Or seeing and talking to your husband for the first time in a month since his Army training? What about the arguments? Yes, those are some of the best (and worst) days for me because since getting married I have become a better, more thoughtful, patient, blessed wife knowing someone loves me even when I’m wrong. I’ve conquered more fears and doubts in the last 4 months than I ever have in my life, and even though there have been tears, I have laughed more, shared more, experienced more, and prayed more than I can ever remember.

Trust me, the wedding day is amazing, but the BEST days are truly yet to come.

Sincerely,
The Hoosier Peach

One thought on “Why My Wedding Wasn’t the Best Day of My Life

  1. Love this! And so true. So many girls grow up dreaming of their wedding and how it will be the perfect day. While that might not be a bad thing, it’s easy to allow preparations of a wedding and the “fun” to cloud what will really be happening: a marriage and the covenant that accompanies that.
    Thanks for sharing 🙂
