Oh how I love these. How about an entire week, grad after grad. My head would explode in delight.

Love that sashed dress. Super cute! And we are also having a dessert reception to save moola – also because dessert is really the best part of any meal anyway! Thanks for sharing!

I think now, after my wedding is complete I need to think of those perfect words: "the wedding is a few hours. The marriage is a lifetime. Allocate resources accordingly."
Every hint of regret just washed away.

I have to say that my jaw dropped when I saw this post, as I have known Anna since she was a little girl attending the summer camp I used to work at.

I can only say that having the privilege of watching Anna grow up and turn into the amazing, wise woman before you now makes my heart glow. And that she shared her story here, well...that flat out made me cry *lol*

Much love, Anna, and thank you for sharing your advice.

Meg – I don't know if I ever mentioned this in a post to your before, but I really love that you do this. It brings a reality to the actual celebration…focusing on real feelings, real sentiments, real life. I appreciate that about your blog. It's honest. These wedding graduates sections are simply fantastic.

I really respect people that can delegate. I have a tendency to want to do everything myself. Thank you for posting Anna's inspiring words.

Love this post! Like everyone else, I loved #5 especially. I think we all need phrases like "The wedding is a few hours. The marriage is a lifetime" running through our brains more often.

Beautiful wedding! I love historic venues. That gauzy chuppah is lovely – and great advice.
