Just got back from my second wedding and our brief honeymoon, and clicked the Recently Married link at the very top. I’ve been idly paging through the Reclaiming Wife posts, and WHAM this hit me in the face.

Yes, yes, YES! This paragraph rings so true for me. It’s why we got married, and tomorrow we’ll be 1 month in. Married life is good. Thanks, APW.

I got engaged three weeks ago and have already been through all the ups (asking my best friend to be my maid of honor) and the downs (crying, yelling match with mom) and found myself wondering if Vegas is nice this time of year. This article helped put it all in perspective for me and I have printed it out and pasted it on the front cover of my modest wedding notebook. Thank you.

So beautiful. I just showed this to my fiancee, as last night we had a rather intense conversation about why I want a wedding and not just a partnership.

Thank you Meg – yet again! I can't tell you how often I need reminders of why we're throwing the party and not just hitting up city hall, or taking our immediate family to a desert island somewhere. I know that the whole wedding thing isn't for everyone, but it is for me – I just forget why sometimes!

Thank you Meg for posting this wonderful reading. I am Jewish, and Ms. Diamant books are all inspiring. I love The Red Tent. And thank you for having a Jewish elements in your blog. Jewish wedding blogs or anything for that matter are far and few between. I have started my own with your inspiration. Ive just posted some breathtaking Ketubahs.

The Red Tent is my most favorite book and my most cherished read. i always turn to it when I need something familiar. I am studying Judaism for possible conversion (though it has nothing to do with my fiance – he's not Jewish) and always find inspiration in her words. (Her husband converted to Judaism before he married her.) I think I would like to have this read immediately before the ceremony begins…a msg from the two of us to our guests about why we are doing this.
