Marriage Wisdom (3) : A Freewrite
It is important to have the wisdom to make informed and thoughtful decisions about your wedding, and to be able to distinguish between helpful suggestions and those that do not align with your values or budget.
It is also important to be gracious and considerate of others' thoughts and feelings, but it is okay to say no if a suggestion does not align with your priorities or budget. It is important to remember that a wedding is a personal and intimate event, and it is important to focus on what is most important to you and your partner.
It may be helpful to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your expectations and desires for your wedding, and to make decisions together that reflect your shared values and priorities. If you are unable to afford certain wedding expenses or do not want to include them in your wedding, it is okay to say no and to stick to your budget and priorities. It is also a good idea to set boundaries and be clear about what you are and are not comfortable with.
