Don't freak out! This isn't some weird post about the woes of being single or some classified letting the world know exactly what I am looking for in a man. No, none of that will EVER be on this blog.
This post is about pinterest. I would guesstimate that roughly 50% of people that get a pinterest do so because they are getting married and they are looking for wedding ideas. Then there's the good chunk of us that are single twentysomethings with 40+ boards. One of which is our wedding board. That's right, we all have one. (Except Denee, Denee doesn't have one.) My wedding board is called "Someday my prince will come..." It used to be called "One day," but that just sounded too depressing so I put a little Disney in there to give it a little less "woe is the single girl" feel. My wedding board is kind of an all-encompassing board that has engagement photo ideas, save the date ideas, dresses, rings, photography tips, decorating tips, super cheesy romantic crap, etc. Anyways, I digress. The other day I was talking to a girl that has just gotten engaged (one of the about 10 that I know that have gotten engaged over the last few weeks), and she was telling me how she doesn't have a wedding board on pinterest. So naturally I assume I'm the freak that has a wedding board but no prospects whatsoever, but no. She tells me having a wedding board on pinterest isn't weird. And I was like, "yeah! fantasizing about my far distant wedding when I don't even get dates is totally normal!" Okay, I didn't really say that. But let's be real here for a second. The majority of women on pinterest are probably single twentysomethings like me with no prospects and we all have wedding boards. (Except Denee.)
Okay, I totally forgot where I was going with this, so I'll just finish by saying this. It's okay to fantasize about the perfect wedding. In the back of our minds, we all know that the perfect wedding doesn't really exist, but it doesn't hurt to shoot for the stars. So go make your wedding board. Just remember that having the perfect wedding isn't the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal should be to prepare yourself for marriage, not a wedding. Aspire to be the mother/wife you want to be. Perfection is not the goal, making good memories is.
P.S. Here is my wedding board if you wanna sneak a peek :) http://www.pinterest.com/ambernina/someday-my-prince-will-come/
Love the dresses and the rings!
