The True Meaning Of Life
By Pat A. FlemingPublished: July 2017The Years have passed by,
In the blink of an eye,
Moments of sadness,
And joy have flown by.
People I loved,
Have come and have gone,
But the world never stopped,
And we all carried on.
Life wasn't easy,
And the struggles were there,
Filled with times that it mattered,
Times I just didn't care.
I stood on my own,
And I still found my way,
Through some nights filled with tears,
And the dawn of new days.
And now with old age,
It's become very clear,
Things I once found important,
Were not why I was here.
And how many things,
That I managed to buy,
Were never what made me,
Feel better inside.
And the worries and fears,
That plagued me each day,
In the end of it all,
Would just fade away.
But how much I reached out,
To others when needed,
Would be the true measure,
Of how I succeeded.
And how much I shared,
Of my soul and my heart,
Would ultimately be,
What set me apart.
And what's really important,
Is my opinion of me,
And whether or not,
I'm the best I can be.
And how much more kindness,
And love I can show,
Before the Lord tells me,
It's my time to go.
So you could totally have a standard, modern wedding. But wouldn’t that be kind of easy and boring? Especially when you could throw a seriously epic ’90s wedding and make your guests go crazy.
This doesn’t even mean that you have to get a terrible perm or wear an unattractive throwback gown. But what you can do is take on the ’90s spirit in many other ways, anywhere from your bridesmaids outfits, to the music or the wedding favors.
Get yourself into the ’90s mindset by sending out invitations with a ’90s pattern. Buy some disposable cameras for guests to take photos of themselves on, just like Monica and Chandler did back in the day. And if you’re feeling seriously bold, then yes, you should get a mullet wedding dress. If you’re the groom, then how about an all white suit just like the super trendy David Beckham?
If you’re on a low budget, then why not just have it in your parents backyard and honor Father of The Bride? Then give out slap bands to guests as a wedding favor instead of something personalized and totally useless that they give out at other weddings.
