Those silly old wives and their silly tales...

Since I have started wedding planning, I have heard so many different old wives tales....

1. Pearls are bad luck.
2. You are never supposed to get married on the hour.
3. It is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding.
4. The traditional, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

Well I feel like a lot of this is just crap. I love pearls, they are beautiful! They are created by living creatures. The most expensive pearls are created in the wild and are extremely rare. How can this be bad luck? It's beautiful.

 I don't understand why someone would think it is bad luck to get married on the hour? First of all, when do these types of events ever run exactly on time?? Ours is set for 7 and I am O.K. with that!

When and Why did it become bad luck to see the bride before the wedding? Was this in the case of arranged marriages, or marriages for those who had never met until their wedding? Diego and I have been together for over 6 years. We have talked a lot about doing the "First Glance" photo session, and have decided it's the best decision. I am so excited! I have heard the best things about the fist glance photos! I want us to have that time for just him and me to see each other as the beautiful bride and the handsome groom. I see it as that moment where we "fall in love all over again". I wouldn't have it any other way!

I will stick with the old borrowed, new, old, blue tradition. This is more just for fun! I have my blue, new, borrowed... just need to fund something old?

Diego and I are so lucky to have found each other! We are a perfect match. Well as perfect as I would ever want it to be. There are some things in my life that have turned out they way I always thought they would. Since I was a little girl, I always knew I would marry my high school sweet heart. In high school, I didn't plan on us getting married. What we have is so much fun I just cared about being with him, marriage didn't matter. It's no surprise to me that this is how things have ended up. 6.11.2011 is our wedding date because 11 is my lucky number ... mostly from lottery tickets, prize drawings, games, etc. but none the less lucky. I have always wanted a June wedding. 6.11.2011 was just perfect. Just like Diego and I. I don't believe that because our wedding is at 7, or because we will see each other before our wedding, or if I wear pearls our marriage is doomed for destruction. Life is what you make it... And mine has turned out exactly how I wanted.

Those silly old wives and their silly tales... what do they know???
