COVID-19 is a fuzzy, pot-bellied green monster who stole every bridal gown, flower, linen and votive. It doesn’t seem like we’re going to get our stuff back from Mount Crumpit any time soon. I suppose we have to do our best Cindy Lou Who and remind ourselves of the TRUE meaning of wedding season.
How The Grinch Stole Wedding Season
Wedding season may have disappeared, but we have more first dances in our future.
It’s official: The Grinch stole wedding season. The dresses were sparkling, invitations were delivered and candles were ready to be lit…and then COVID-19 Grinch showed up.
Despite cancellations, postponements and total uncertainty, my April, May and June brides have been the epitome of grace under pressure. However, they have every right to feel a roller coaster of emotions because the COVID-19 Grinch has literally stolen their wedding season.
However, I am so looking forward to a great, big wedding “comeback.” The anticipation and excitement that weddings generate is a tonic to life’s challenges, especially something as brutal as COVID-19. A gathering with beautiful music, draped linens, candlelight, roses and hydrangeas will reinvigorate weary souls.
When all of the Christmas gifts and decorations went missing, the people of Whoville came together and sang. I am a fan of the power of song, in the right context…(sorry, Gal Gadot). I think for me, the next time I hear a ceremony song or watch a first dance, that’s when my heart will grow three-times the size.
