January. The month of getting all resolved. Losing weight must be the #1 resolution. Has to be, right? Check out your neighborhood gym the first week of January. You can't breathe for all the enthusiastic perspiration! Now look in again around mid-February.
Cricket sounds and rolling tumbleweed. Yeah, January is definitely the month for resolutions.
When I was planning my wedding, there were very few things I was resolute on. Pricey gown? Eh, as long as I felt good in it, I didn't care how much it cost. Fancy frenchy cake topped with a 4 ft tall blue sugar sculpture swan? Nope. Little bakery down the street hooked me up with a simple rolled fondant number.

But there were some things that I wasn't going to compromise on. I was resolute that we would have personal letters to each other read aloud during the ceremony. (Glad I did - it's the #1 thing people commented on, and really personalized an otherwise boilerplate Catholic mass.) I was resolute that my adorable, but very young and fidgety 3 year old niece would spend a minimum amount of time up by the altar. And I was resolute that we book a night in a hotel the day AFTER the wedding. I can't tell you how glad I was I did that, by the way. Not having to check out by 11am and haul everything home was heaven itself.

So how about you? What are you resolute on? What do you care deeply about in regards to your wedding? What gets a "whatever"?
