My Perfect Wedding

Christmas Day is usually a holiday mainly observed to commemorate the birth of Jesus. For non Christianity followers it is a day to exchange gifts, decorate houses and for Santa Clause. For me, Christmas of two thousand eight changed my life forever. This is the day my now to be husband kneeling down on one knee, asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. His proposal was short sweet and sincere. Without a doubt I gracefully replied “Yes, I will.” With many new emotions racing throughout my mind, I couldn’t help to wonder, when our big day would be. Setting a date was the beginning of our long wedding adventure. There was many offers given to me from family and friends to help with the planning but I refused. This was my wedding, the day I dreamed of; I wanted to plan it solo.

May 30th of the following year seemed so far way that I started off slow with my wedding planning process. I was unaware couples usually take two years to plan this event and decided to have it held in a few months. My husband agreed to stand out of the way as I managed most of the major decisions. He did not mind I chose the color pink for the entire bridal party to wear, or that I chose to have pink flowers and pink table covers. He expected nothing less; only wanted me to be happy, and that I was. Shortly after realizing I would only have six months to plan our wedding, my anxiety came into play. Finding a venue and reserving our date needed to be complete. After viewing various halls and grand hotels, there was one in particular that caught my attention. From the moment I walked in, I knew I would have it. I was memorized by the main focus point of the room; a ginormous crystal chandelier that took up the entire ceiling. The dim candlelight filled the room with a glow and it was nothing less than perfect. Mirrors covered the walls surrounding the dance floor. All I could imagine was dancing with my new husband as we gazed into them. My initial appointment

    The world is asked to accept the manifestation of God’s love, not in abstract terms, but in the full presence of a man in “our image and likeness,” one who can weep, suffer, bleed and die. This is the mystery that is shown to the world in the revelation of Jesus Christ, and Christmas believe it with awe, love and joy. The child in Mary’s arms is the Lord, the Son of God, and the one who holds the keys of…

    Christmas is a holiday celebrated around the world. Children wait all night the evening before for santa to place their gifts beneath the tree. Excitement rages from them the morning of December twenty-fifth; pretty wrapping paper and shiny bows glisten under the christmas tree lights while the bulbs upon it sparkle so elegantly. However, Christmas is not about all these aspects that it is displayed as. Christmas has more meaning than pretty gifts and how many gifts each child has under the tree. This holiday is above the amount of money one kid gets while the next gets so little. Though some see Christmas as a materialistic holiday, it has far more depth than so little meaning. The Holiday of Christmas contrasts greatly with celebrations…

    Christmas in America has had different meanings to many people through history. Farmers, workers, and religious adherents practiced their traditions in the public sphere in respective periods of time. However, the modern understanding of Christmas celebration stems from the experience of a growing middle class as it set out to define its identity. Christmas as a domestic, commercial holiday originates from the middle class engagement with the vehicles of the first industrial revolution and the subsequent adoption of a culture of consumerism. Rural farmers traditionally celebrated the end of the harvest and the beginning of the long winter with feasting and celebration at Christmas during the eighteenth century.…

    Christmas vs Thanksgiving

    Christmas is one of the most incredible times of the year; snow on the ground, a warm fire in the living room, and twinkly lights around every turn. When I was young, I loved Christmas. Toys and treats had me in a daze for almost a week straight. I was a typical kid, and my focus during any holiday was, “What do I get? Who brought me presents?”. I never realized the true meaning of why we have holidays, other than presents, until I was seventeen years old. As I’ve started to see my family less and my co-workers more, I understand that the true meaning of holidays in general, is to spend time with our loved ones. Taking my new found wisdom into account, my opinion of the “best holiday of the year” has changed from Christmas to Thanksgiving. My views, including favorite holiday, have changed because my focus on what’s important has matured.…

    The day started in a small where a small prayer was held before we headed out to the reception. My cousin sat at the front in her big blue, poofy dress while the guests all sat in the pews behind her waiting for the sermon to begin. The priest went through the prayer pretty quickly and my family and I rushed to the reception hall to make sure everything was ready by the time the guests arrived. My cousin was to arrive at a later time with her court of chambelanes. When I entered the reception hall, I was astonished by how beautiful everything looked. It resembled a disco ball with mirrors all around, even on the ceiling; the tables were covered in all white table cloths with a small blue centerpiece to match the quinceañera's dress; there were probably more balloons than there was people and the chandelier in the center of the dance floor brought the whole place together with its luxurious dripping crystals. When it was time for my cousin to arrive, a long, white Hummer stretch limo dropped her and her chambelanes off. As she entered, she greeted the few guests that had already arrived. With the light shining on her, she looked like Cinderella in her light blue dress which shined from all the glitter and diamonds it was covered…

    The day started out early with the entire bridal party which included me, Robie (the maid of honor), three (bridesmaids) Amy, Lauren, and Morgan, Cathy and myself, because we had so much decorating left to do before the wedding started and the guest arrived. We began by getting all the decorations out. We had white lace, pearls, tulle, and plum and lime green bows. We also had white linens for the table tops, and sheer plum toppers to go over the linens, plum sashes for bows to tie around the white chairs, and tons of candles and lights to go on all of the trees. We wrapped lights around every tree, since we were having a night wedding. We placed an arch next to their pond in the backyard and decorated it with the lace, pearls, and lights and entwined it with greenery. We placed floating candles in the pond, and lined potted flowers down the aisles. We had a pedestal with our unity sand and vase, and a sign in table with an 11x16 picture of Steve and I on it for the guest to sign as they came in. We had dinner, dance and reception after the ceremony. Once all of this was completed, I stepped back and looked at it all, and I realized the time was nearing and it was so exquisite that I began to cry. It was just exactly as I had imagined it. I knew that someone would be coming to get us soon to start the ceremony…

    The Robinson family has many traditions which we are proud of, the most special traditions which we have is going to Nana and Grampa’s for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations. Since this year we had to change our dates around to accommodate the military we want to make sure the tradition stayed the same. Jesus is always our focus of our celebration. The reason why we come together each year, give gifts, sing and pray. This year was more about the celebration than the “greed” which is associated with the commercial piece of Christmas. In the article, “How to let go of the greed and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas”, Flanders states, “the day will be less about gifts for them and more about celebrating Jesus”. (p 15) For me this means I was able to concentrate on spending quality time with my children and spouse; rather than running from store to store attempting to purchase something that will make my family “happy” rather than fulfilled. Flanders discusses the song The Twelve Days of Christmas, which was created by adults to teach budding Catholics about believing in God, she states, “the “true love” mentioned is God, and “me” in the song refers to all baptized individuals.” (p…

    We all had to take showers and everything too, but we all managed to be ready in time. The wedding was beautiful. It was outside and looked over the ocean. The reception was very fun too. It was in the building that the wedding was at, but the room was separate from the other part of the place. I think it was a restaurant that they had it at but it was a really fancy one, I’m not sure though. We had dinner, they did their first dance, and the dance with the parents. The bride and bridesmaids had a dance made up to do for the groom and the groomsmen, and the groom and groomsmen had a thing made up for the bride and the bridesmaids. It was…

    My Perfect Life

    My daily morning routine leads me to realize one thing - my life is perfect. Every day when I wake up, I curse my alarm, stumble to the bathroom, and brush my teeth while I stare out the window. Sometimes I stand there too long, or at least longer than my sleepy body allows. Regardless, I enjoy this. Here I can meditate about everything that I do: breaking my pitching wedge in half in frustration after a poor round of golf or completing a plethora of schoolwork. However, only do I realize my life is perfect when, looking again through that window, I envision the balance between the relaxing and obligatory tasks that characterize my life.…

    Two days before the wedding feast my family began to prepare for the big event. Family relatives arrived at my grandparent’s house with soft drinks and alcohol beverages.
