Hello my beloved readership,

in Germany we literally say that you cannot dance at two weddings at once. Well, see how I can with the following nail art and read the story behind it here.

Man, I can tell you I love weddings! Is it not wonderful when two parties collide and enforce their own ideas against each about what is supposed to be the most beautiful day for two people who love each other and are willing to close the bond of marriage with each other for ever? And wait until the bridal couple hears about this. It is just what a bride needs between nervousness and excitement before the event she is going to enter a new stage of life with. Oh, I cannot wait for such a couple to have children so that more than their personal wishes their privacy will not be respected by those who who claim to be the family knowing everything better than the concerned people themselves. This makes me remember my own wedding… but I am getting nostalgic. Can someone tell me what is so difficult to understand certain phrases or words when we are all supposed to speak the same language?

The sad truth is that talking about weddings instead of couples being excited while they are talking about their wedding and the preparation a sentence you always come across is: “It is not my wedding. It is my [mother’s/father’s/brother’s/sister’s, et cetera] wedding.”
Same about the retrospective talk about weddings. Couples always report about a mess when they are talking about their wedding. Let us play pretend that it was funny that a heavy dispute or other kind of mess took place during your wedding or that “it was ok”, why is a wedding always connected with compromises made by the main protagonists that is the bridal couple? Instead of being honored to belong to the special circle of people who are chosen to witness the special day I feel like the couple is to be celebrated for big achievements in life has other struggles to fight instead of enjoying what they are blessed with.

I will make it short: dear people, it is not about you when it comes to big events in someone else’s life, either you are supportive or disturbing but then you may kindly leave because everything that is asked from you is to respect their wishes.

I think I never had such a discreet, I do not want to say basic, kind of nail-art ever in my life. Even when I nearly wanted it I did not actually get it (I mean, conventional is so yesterday anyway). But you know what people say, the more discreet your appearance the bigger the statement in the details (okay, I do not know if it is in fact what people say but in this case it is like that). You probably see the little gemstones on my ring fingers – three on each side and six in the sum. They are supposed to symbolize the years of marriage we have with my husband. Usually I would add more personality into my occasional nail art but since my brother got married on the same day I restrained myself with that.

Huge thanks to Hanny Beautiful Nails for converting my nails so flawlessly for these special occasions.

Love, Johanna
