Step 64: It's Been a While Since I've Been to a Wedding

In the past two years since my graduation, I have been invited to and attended more weddings than should be legal in such a short time span (I've even got ANOTHER wedding tomorrow). All the weddings I've been to so far have been for younger couples--people who are entranced by their first true loves and are doefully optimistic about their futures. A lot of the newly-weds were fresh out of college, ready to start their lives.

But my cousin's wedding last Friday night was one for the more mature audience. Starting the second half of her life, my cousin and her husband have had plenty of ups and downs, first and second and third true loves, and a wide variety of jobs and hobbies. They've had experience, and from that experience they know exactly what they want out of life. Out of a partner. Out of a wedding. And what they want is Josh Kaufman, last year's winner of The Voice!

Seriously, though, the groom's gift to his new wife was to show how much he loved her. I've seen equally as meaningful gestures from other newly weds and longtime partners, just on smaller scales. When you're young and just starting out your life, you've got to know that right now your signs of love may be small. Someday you might be in a stable enough position to make those grand gestures that you dream of doing now. Someday, you might not. The important thing is that your actions, no matter how big or small, show how you truly feel about the other person.

So my question to you: What's the sweetest thing your partner has ever done for you? It can be as big as booking your favorite artist for a private party or as small as breakfast in bed on your second month anniversary.

And my challenge to you: Do something every day to show your significant other just how much they mean to you.
