The whole wedding idea has been slowly claiming me for quite a while. It's been a gradual process, in fact hardly noticeable. But a couple days ago Cyndi's Mom let us know people in her ward had started to get their invitations. That made me stop and think.
Up until this week, the wedding preparation has been fairly self-contained. Other than immediate family and friends, we haven't really made any demands on anyone else. But now with invitations on the fly, we're kinda starting to impact a lot more people. I have to admit it's an unusual feeling for me, one I've only previously experienced in the work context. But it brings home the sense of a wedding being a social ritual and a really big thing.
