COMMENTARY: While more couples will marry in 2022 than in any other year in recent history, no detail will escape your notice on your special day, writes TM_Blanchet. Well, except maybe one.
Welcome to your wedding day. As it turns out, you’ll be sharing it with plenty of others; more couplesthan in any other year in recent history. Still, to you and yours, this will be a day to remember, from the flowers to the food to the ridiculous balloon-awning monstrosity that your future mother-in-law insisted on. No detail will escape your notice.As a former function coordinator, I’ve seen more weddings than most.
They will chew their chicken and admire the dresses and clink their glasses. You won’t notice that their smiles are tinged with melancholy as they listen to the speeches of love and happily ever after. They will hide it well. Because this is a day for fairy tales, and they will see what the speechmakers don’t.They will see your first year after your first baby, the so-called “hardest year of marriage,” as you will learn after the fact, but not before.
They will see the death of your first pet and, eventually, of your second. And all the other deaths — grandma, friend, uncle, dad — that will march through your years like an invading army. Each time, you will have to depend on each other. And each time, you will learn if you can.They will watch as your child morphs before your eyes from wide-eyed cherub to foot-stomping toddler to dour teen to occasional stranger. That last one will sting most of all.
