It isn't suppose to make my family and myself poor, or companies rich. It is just to be enjoyed...so if someone thinks my flowers suck or food is terrible...too bad it isn't about all that. Its about choosing one person to love and support the rest of your life. Its sad that those around us have made it acceptable to spend $30,000 or more easily on a day. That money is meaningless, it doesnt mean you love each other more. <BR/>NOW I am not gonna elope, but I have found ways to be thrifty and classy. I enjoy the postsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294424579369546433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283325584340989164.post-85020724960674486972008-06-27T19:48:00.000-04:002008-06-27T19:48:00.000-04:00I, too, become frustrated with the rolling of eyes...I, too, become frustrated with the rolling of eyes, and the "oh, you are still in your honeymoon phase". As I stop and stare unbelievingly at them, every fiber in my being wants to scream, um, no, that ended IN the honeymoon. Even with the shorter dating time period that Ray and I experienced, we, I guess, "skipped" the traditional "honeymooning". Not that I never was ga-ga over him and looked past his supposed flaws (those are what make him Ray, but that's another comment). More so that we were real from the beginning. So if we disagreed on an issue, we duked it out then and there. We were never fake with each other--and that's my favorite part. So though we have definitely had to learn to fight fair and argue constructively, I'm glad we started from the get go. We get to start our honeymoon phase as we mature :).tiffanyleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030566769844283373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283325584340989164.post-33677968619937767552008-06-10T08:07:00.000-04:002008-06-10T08:07:00.000-04:00You are so right on this one!
