Episode 142: Weddings

I can't think of anything that makes me feel more abundant than a wedding! And I got to attend one last weekend!!!

The couple was supposed to get married last summer but had to postpone it due to the pandemic. They began dating in their freshman year of high school so they've been waiting A LOOOOONG time to become Mr. and Mrs.

I must admit I was a bit nervous to attend a large gathering but I went with the mindset that I'd socially distance but if I was in a crowd, I'd mask up which I did.

It was a black tie optional event so pretty fancy with a sit down dinner and a live band. Even though I love dancing, I steered clear of the dance floor because I couldn't imagine trying to breathe while dancing with a mask on and I certainly didn't want people panting next to me on a crowded dance floor! How times have changed!!! But I did enjoy watching the bride and groom, who are avid dancers, get crazy with their friends.

When you go to a wedding, what feels abundant to you? For me it's:

LOVE!!! 

Love at its best when you say "I do" in front of your family and friends.

Love by a father who gives his child away.

Love by parents watching their children commit to their life partner.

Love of friends and family who come from near and far to witness the blessing of this lifetime commitment.

Love of friends and family who get to connect in an extremely fun way, usually by breaking bread, sipping cocktails, and dancing to the best music. 

The abundant effect of a wedding can last for days!!! And it starts even before the event as you begin to plan your outfit and get excited for the day, whether you are the bride, the mother of the bride or groom, or an invited guest!

The message I want to leave you with that I feel is the most important part of abundance that we must never forget it to BE PRESENT and grateful for the experience and the people you are with in the moments, as you are living them. 

The more you are present and appreciative of what is around you in the moment, the more abundant you'll feel, which will attract more abundance into your life! 💫
