So, I'm a hypocrite. :-) I've read bride blogs for several months now... and always roll my eyes when ladies get so excited over receiving their first wedding gift. It just seems like the whole wedding thing can become so materialistic. To this point, I've felt a little awkward about the whole registry thing. Don't worry, we're doing registries, but (1) we both have a full house of appliances, towels, and sheets, and (2) it's just not my norm to sit and make a list of things I want for 200 of my closest family and friends. Only my parents ever see a list of wants... and that's only after weeks of begging for a Christmas list. LOL So when it comes to wedding gifts, I really didn't think I would have the emotional reaction that I've read from others.
So, ladies, I ask your forgiveness! I will no longer roll my eyes. This morning a friend stopped by Joel's house and left our first wedding gift. When Joel told me, I jumped up and down, felt my heart pump faster, the adrenalin seemed to kick in, and I think a tear even came to my eye. (Ridiculous, eh?)
Now, we haven't even had time to open the gift yet. I don't even know what is in that gift bag.... and I never get this excited about birthday or Christmas gifts. So what's all this about? My guess: I think that first gift somehow brings a reality that all of this planning and work is truly leading to a grand celebration of joining our lives together. Someone has just said, "yes! you ARE getting married and I am excited to part of it!" It's not some elusive day that I've dreamed of since I was a kid. No, it's real! It's coming! And it WILL be amazing!
So, I'll be careful at rolling my eyes and look forward to experiencing every unique moment of this adventure.
It's only natural to be excited about your first gifts as a couple! It's something you can...
