Seeing myself again gives me confidence. The colors are slightly different, the hair is parted, and my face is contoured. The changes are subtle but I feel much more comfortable and myself.
But this is not yet the final look! I had forgotten that I made a wedding color palette but my matron of honor didn’t. So we’re all wearing accents of orange and teal. I’ll have a corsage but I also think that eyeshadow will help pull the look together.
Today, I also started to write my vows. John, my fiancé, and I tell each other that we love each other all the time, but I find that more elaborate phrases feel wrong for my vows. I would like to be funny but a joke writer I am not. I would like to be romantic but also authentic. I may also be overthinking this. I want my vows to be perfect.
Perfection, of course, is not attainable. But I’m going to give it the good ol’ try. And that’s the part that matters.
