Everyone's quick to talk passion. Passionate about weddings, passionate about your wedding, passionate about photography, a deep passion for ceremony, passion for pashin.
Which is cool. But I'm deeply inspired by Jerry Sienfeld's Duke commencement speech where he nailed it:
Find fascination. Fascination is way better than passion. It's not so sweaty.
Passion is so so sweaty, and not terribly sustainable if I may add as a celebrant of 15 years. Fascination in couples, marriage, weddings, relationships, family, events is the common thread I see in my wedding creator friends who have been doing this for a while. I talk to wedding creator friends every day like Omar at By The Wilde or James Day, vendors, people like Mel and Amy that run Wedshed, or the creatives around the globe I'm proud to call friend like Steven Van Elk, and they're not textbook passionate about weddings - they're fascinated by them and you.
