This is for the newly wed, new to be wed and renewal couples.

When was the last time you thought of your wedding ceremony?  Maybe it was on your last anniversary or perhaps when one of the kids started asking questions about your wedding.   Where did you get married, what was it like, who was there?

After a while, as special as the day was, do you remember all of the details?   What if along with the photo album you had a journal?   A notebook with your thoughts, ideas, concerns.  How great would that be? Just to pull it out every once in a while and take a look.

How great for children and grand children to have?  Maybe  given as a gift to them as they approach the same experience.

I know we all think how could anyone forget one of the most important days of your life. But we do, life gets in the way and  fine details get lost in more urgent day to day living.

So if you are in the midst of planning a wedding now or have just completed one.  Take time to jot down the special stuff.  The intimate moments, thoughts concerning friends, family, guest.  Funny, sad, in between , everything from getting engaged , telling your family and their reactions to picking a location for the ceremony.

Tell about the Taxi driver in St.Thomas or the place you ate before the wedding day. Include the Ferry ride to St.John and the beaches, how the sand felt and what your dreams were at that time.    Treat it like a diary (well maybe not) but you get the drift.

One last thing, make it a hand written journal, who knows on your 50th  anniversary it might be not only a journal but a time capsule. Oh ya tell about the great wedding planner you had too.
