Ditch the wild side!

I will be celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary this October the 18th.
And every year that goes by, like a fine wine, our marriage becomes sweeter and more valuable.

But I don’t think i would feel that way if I would have went into my marriage the ‘wrong’ way.

What do I mean by ‘the wrong way’?

Simple, it’s known as sowing your wild oats.
I had a very low-key bachelor party before my big day.

My wife and I are not into drinking or wild partying and definitely did not want to do the ’stripper’ thing before promising our lives and souls to one another and to God.
She and her friends went out to dinner while my friend and I had pizza, played games and watched movies all night… yawn right?
Wrong. It was a blast. We were able to recount the memories of when we were growing up, and how I first met Heidi and so on.. And my head was totally clear the next day to know that the decision I was making was the right one. Not only that, but we did not see each other until the ceremony… and when she came walking down the aisle… lets just say I lost it. ; )

As I tell everyone I can - I love weddings, I love marriage and I highly recommend it to everyone I meet.
To have someone who loves and supports you by your side on a daily basis is such an amazing thing. Words can’t do that feeling justice.
Sure at times you get annoyed and maybe you fight, but that is normal and nothing to worry about - unless violence is involved. (see my post on love)
All of my wedding clients who have already tied the knot know what I mean, and those of you getting married this year will know what I mean.

Now, that doesn’t mean you cannot have fun. Just remember that you are entering into a sacred bond.

So keep it clean. To give you guys some ideas - check out this article from Sundays newspaper: Grooms and friends ditch the wild side for the wilds

Anyway, I just wanted to share this article with you all, hopefully this is a trend that continues.

Guys, do your brides a favor - do not go partying and gawking at strippers.
That’s just gross and not the best way to enter into your marriage.
(Gals, that rule applies to you too.)

If you have any cool ideas for clean and memorable pre-wedding parties, let me know in the comment section.

God Bless!
