One Big Day

Mr. Rogue and I have discussed the budget for the wedding numerous times and inevitably one or both of us would take a moment, step back from the excel document and guzzle a bottle of wine. The money that we are spending on this one day could be put into a fund to send two kids to college OR create a nice sized nest egg. Or go toward a million other things. Sometimes the commercialism of the wedding industry really smacks me across the face and on days like today I wished I had decided to elope and spend all the wedding money on shoes.

Of course then if that was even possible I would wake up the next day and bemoan the fact that I am not getting my one special day, a perfect memory to last me a lifetime, a celebration with all my friends and family surrounding me.

It is a double edged sword.
