I'm not sure what made me think of it, but I recalled a conversation I had with Super-J a few months ago. One of his friends was getting married that week and he was showing me the husband and wife-to-be's wedding website and everything. I was smiling at the geekiness of it (I would totally do that!) and Super-J went, "...yup." Anyway, I saw where they were getting married, and I kinda wrinkled my nose and went, "Really?" Super-J looked at me and said, "Yeah..."

I immediately felt horrible the moment it happened. Who am I to judge where someone gets married? If you're in love and you're surrounded by the people you love, then heck, get married anywhere you want! It doesn't matter where, but with/to who. As a kid, my head was filled with these notions that weddings were to be extravagant and fairy tale-esque. On some level, I think every girl kind of wants that, but on another level, at least for me now that I've had these revelations, I think it's important that you're happy and not weighed down by those "ideals" or what others are doing. If you want a great big wedding, great! If you want a small quiet wedding, great! Elope? Great! It's the moment celebrated and shared between the two people that matters the most.
