A Matter of Trust

It's more than just a Billy Joel song. Having trust that the wedding will go smoothly is important for me right now. Sure, there's a lot to do, from the big parts like securing a venue to the more minor, detail-oriented tasks such as choosing color schemes, table charts, and songs for the band to play. But it can be a lot more overwhelming if you don't trust yourself and other people helping you plan the big day. And to some degree, even if you double check everything, some things are out of your control. You just have to close your eyes, cross your fingers, and make a leap of faith. Hopefully the lead band singer won't have a cold, the flower shop won't close down, and there's no snow storm in the middle of June. In some ways, a wedding seems like marriage itself. When deciding whom to marry, you can consider all of his or her good qualities, the pros and cons, predict how that person might be like in 20 years, but eventually you need to make a leap of faith. You won't know what the future holds, what surprises might come, but you trust yourself and your partner that being together is the right decision. And that not being together feels wrong somehow.
