I have been quiet for a while, and haven’t posted much. Overwhelmed with AI-created images and a fake world that we are accepting as the status quo. I have this intense hunger for everything that is real. I think I have been given an AI radar, and although there are many advantages, which I still have to discover, my heart is just completely oversaturated with everything fake. My question is, what will it take for us to wake up and embrace reality—real conversations with people, walking barefoot on the grass, climbing a tree, or just lying on your back and looking at the sky? Many trends have come and gone, but the one thing remains: how people feel is important, how we feel is important, life is too short, my time is too precious to look at life through a dirty window.
I choose not to find fault and to look for everything that is wrong, because I have no time to waste, I have very little free time, and I choose to enjoy every outing, whether it is a drive to the hockey field, or a coffee at a garage on our way to my mom. I just want to be real. Our addiction to perfection is unfortunately robbing us of the rainbow moments, those indescribable moments, where you just feel so at peace. Looking at this video today made my heart skip a few beats. There was nothing perfect on this day, but the day was perfect, not because of us, but because our couple allowed us to just be real, to be part of the fun and to share in the warmth of their amazing love.
If you just want to get married and get the paper signed, Imperfect Perfection isn’t for you. Here we talk, we make mistakes, we try to fix mistakes, we strive for excellence, we give it our all, we sometimes argue, we have hard conversations about life and budgets, we challenge each other, we learn from each other, we look for connections, and our main aim is to stress the importance of how a wedding day is a day where you can either settle a score of long-lasting conflict or it can be a celebration of starting to repair relationships. It is a time to have hard conversations with ourselves, time to reflect and have introspection, because anything that triggers us emotionally is rooted in pain and hurt, and sometimes, attending a wedding is the place where you decide to end your own hurt and to live through it, or to stay there and drown in it.
There are no perfect families; I don’t come from a perfect family. I am probably one of the most imperfect people on this planet, but perfection shouldn’t be our goal—real, authentic emotions should be what we strive for. NO ONE will remember FAKE. Fakeness is like telling a lie and not remembering what you have said; it isn’t memorable. REALNESS is what we should look for…… not likes, not approval, just a real feeling that we are content and at peace.
The wedding day, sometimes, stops us in our tracks. The father that can't forgive himself for not being there for his daughter, the regret, the brother that you haven’t spoken to in years, the person that you do not want to face—they are all at the weddings, and you can either run from it, or embrace it and make a decision to fix it. There is nothing more difficult than saying sorry, but there is also nothing more rewarding and freeing than being able to say it, mean it, and feel the weight lifting off your shoulders. Can we not try to make the attendance of a wedding an opportunity to fix and mend relationships? Because there is no better time than now.
SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP, the clock is ticking and the beautiful sunsets that we get to enjoy will not increase. We all have only a certain amount of sunsets left; don’t get stuck in pain and miss the colourful horizon that God has painted just for us to see, feel, and enjoy. Imperfect Perfection, where time isn’t measured by clocks but by moments, and where protecting relationships is a vital part of planning your wedding day. At the end of the wedding on the Sunday when we say goodbye, we should be able to leave better than we were before. I am my only competition, and I have to be better and fix my life every day. Even if today was a total flop, we need to keep chasing the best version of ourselves. We simply can’t get stuck……
BRACE yourselves, planning your wedding will be tough at times. Not because it is just a wedding, but because it is a life-changing journey of self-discovery, and moments where you feel you can turn around and walk away or stick it out and have the hard conversations. If it is stressful, it means that it has value and meaning—nothing worth your while happens without effort - thank you Jaun and Suné award winning photographers and videographers, this video has reminded me why we do what we do again. Congratulations on just winning the best shortfilm high light award! JPB Media Productions, looking forward to seeing you soon at Imperfect Perfection
