I have had my wedding planned since I can remember. A beautiful dress, all of my friends and family, gorgeous flowers--the works. But since there is still a great amount of time before my own wedding will happen, I thrive on other people’s weddings. Here are some reasons I love weddings so much.

1. The dresses.

Wedding dresses are at the center of what everyone is looking at. Every single dress is different and all are beautiful and make the bride glow with happiness.

2. The Groom’s reaction to the bride.

As much as I love seeing the bride walk down the aisle, my eye tends to move to the groom. The groom’s reactions to their brides are some of the world’s most incredible moments. There is this look on their face that is hard to describe but something you will always remember.

3. The vows.

Vows are some of the most heartfelt and tender words you hear some people say. It is amazing that people can write down and express in their own words just how much they love this other person. I think it is the most beautiful part of the ceremony.

4. The speeches.

If you can’t tell, I love emotions being written out in words, so it’s no wonder that speeches made at weddings are my next favorite things. It is amazing to hear such kind words people have to say about the lovely couple. Don’t get me wrong some speeches can be bad but the ones that leave you with tears in your eyes are the great ones.

5. The dances.

The entrance of the wedding party, the first dance, the mother and son dance, and the father and daughter dance always get me. I already have my first dance song picked out, even though I am nowhere near having a wedding or a groom: "You Make Me Feel So Young" by Frank Sinatra. Hopefully whoever I end up marrying agrees! I am obsessed with the dances that are shared, you can literally see the love moving throughout the room, when these people dance. It’s truly incredible.

Honestly I love the entirety of all weddings, but those are just some of the few specific things that I love. It is the things that you can hear and see the amount of love in the day that triggers something in me. Weddings are events that hold so many emotions and I cannot wait to share one with people one day.
