A Wedding Is…
Photo by Lesley Bryce Photography
Denotative (that’s the dictionary definition, folks): a wedding is “a marriage ceremony usually with its accompanying festivities” or “an act, process, or instance of joining in close association.”
Yet when you type “a wedding is” in a Google search box, these are the statements that show up…
Connotative (that’s the meaning we assign):
A wedding is…
“one of the most important days in a couple’s life.”
“a daunting but exciting prospect.”
“a huge undertaking.”
“often more stressful than any job in a restaurant kitchen.”
“an exercise filled with dread.”
“as involved as initiating a new company startup.”
“is one of the most expensive things an adult will spend their money on.”
My definition:
A wedding is just one of many special days commemorating the joining of two people in one committed relationship.”
The question is… what is yours?
