Behind The Scenes Of Wedding Weekend & Lessons Learned

​I got married this weekend... concluding 10 months of planning into one 7 hour event at our home in Guilford Connecticut. It's no secret that wedding planning is s huge to-do, though it's a lot like any event I suppose... just with a whole bunch of specific cultural and societal rituals baked in. Sitting on the porch this morning, I realized that I was not rushed. Such an odd sensation to feel since the legal and logistical details of getting married at this stage in life and business, coupled with hosting the event at home (including the before and after parties), meant that Ac and I have been grinding hard for the majority of 2024. I posted photos and videos out on social - you can see the dress, the venue, the cake, all the things... But here and now... today I want to talk about some of the less obvious lessons I've picked up along the way.
