not sure if this is the right flair lol, but i’ve been listening to their new album and i had to check my phone to make sure i hadn’t messed up my queue or something, they sounds so similar! it’s really cool to see how they can sound so similar yet take such different directions in music.

the song is “talk cheap, die broke” for those who don’t have spotify :)

do-over?

my husband and i got married just over a year ago and it did not end up going the way we had originally planned. nothing was working and with the way our lives, jobs, and secondary residency statuses happened, we ended up having a courthouse elopement with our parents and siblings in a bit of a rush. it was rather stressful and we had a “reception” last winter. it was a family gathering that was very casual. around 40 people, no big cake, no dressing up, just spending time together at my parents’ house since we had just graduated with our master’s and many people had not seen us in a few years. some people gave us small monetary gifts. (which i was so grateful for! i just mean to say there weren’t large financial burdens on this gathering)

it’s now wedding season again and i can’t help but feel incredibly sad we did not do something more formal with photos, more planned celebration, i didn’t even wear a wedding dress.

i had planned to get some bridal photos done of us later this year hopefully with a wedding dress and all of that, but seeing everyone having so much fun with their bridesmaids and groomsmen and everyone dressing up and all of the planning and day of just makes me so incredibly sad. i have good friends i wish could have been at the reception/gathering but the timing was horrible for them as they were also still in school at the time. only one of my best friends was able to make it.

i don’t want to place any kind of burden on my family or friends to feel like they have to do something *again* or like we’re being silly.

the only thing i can think is in a few years we do a 5 year party, but it’s so far away. i would love to do some sort of getaway in someplace like estes park where we rent cabins and renew our vows, it just seems so BIG for an anniversary. would it be weird to plan for something like that? what would you do? what advice can you offer? anything is accepted, i’m just feeling extra sad today and am unsure of what to do.
