** My mom and I like to tell ourselves this when things start getting a little stressful. It is a gentle reminder that while the wedding details are fun and important, the wedding isn't nearly as important as the marriage that will begin that day.

I agree with your ** about 120 percent. I've been to some GORGEOUS weddings that ended up as happy marriages, some that have ended up as divorces, some not so perfect weddings that have gone both ways, etc. The wedding is important as a symbol, but the marriage is important as the real thing. :)
Sounds like you're having fun, at least. Nice to have family helping you with all of this.
Have fun with all the wedding planning, and I'm glad God has given you perspective that a wedding is a day, but a marriage, with His blessing, can be a lifetime. Enjoy!
You have a good outlook on this. Keep the sanity!
You're enjoying yourself and being realistic at the same time. Way to go, having a level head on your shoulders!
So True! After all, I started my off 40 years ago by eloping.
I'm excited about the details, keep them coming. And don't forget pictures.
