Nuptials

This morning I had a meeting with a new editor. She edits the local wedding magazine, for which I've written articles on and off for the past six years or so.  She just took over the job a few months ago and wanted some ideas for stories.

As I sat at my kitchen table this morning, thinking about nuptials in general, I remembered how taken I was with my own.  Planning my wedding was my LIFE.  I literally could focus on little else for the fifteen months I was engaged.  Sure, I went to dinner, sat in meetings at work and feigned interaction with co-workers, but in the back of my mind i'm getting married, i'm getting married thumped like a tribal drum.  I was insane!

Fast forward four years.  I can barely remember the planning process. I remember the day pretty well, but I also remember the tremendous relief I felt the day after I got married. I had feared it would be this letdown, like the day after Christmas when you're twelve, but the reality was so much better. 

So how do I turn that into a magazine article?
