This weekend as Alisha and I went down to her house for wedding planning. As we met in an Italian bakery to discuss food and other arrangements, I was struck by the ways in which the sense of smell affects us. There were flowers all over the table, but what really made it noticeable was the abundance of cinnamon candles. It really felt like something of significance was about to happen.
That’s definitely a good thing for our wedding. The smells totally changed the atmosphere into a place where anything could happen. I like the idea that people will remember it and take notice as a momentuous event.
Two months ‘till it happens!
