I am definitely a details person. (This is Amy talking) It is not because I am high maintenance or high strung. It is because they finish everything off nicely. As an English teachers daughter I would say "details are like punctuation in your sentence". Will people understand what you are trying to say without the punctuation? Sure, probably. However punctuation wraps your sentence in a nice little package so everyone will understand what you are trying to say and they will see you care about what you are writing.
SO going back to the details, in wedding planning there are about a million details. I have just spent about four hours of my time looking at vintage paper clips. I must admit it was fun and I got lost in all that is available. Like: did you know Tiffany & Co has or had 14K gold paper clips? Seriously, who needs a Tiffany's paper clip? Those are not the ones we are using by the way! Also there are lots of places online that sell 100 year old paper clips and there are websites that instruct you on how to make different shapes with a normal paper clip. While the saying is "Don't sweat the small stuff, it is all small stuff", I understand. I should not sweat the small things in life ( like paper clips). However it does not mean we should ignore the details around us as those show us all of the wonders that are out there. A bouquet of roses are always pretty, but looking at the edge of each rose and the color differentiation on each petal makes it beautiful. That is a good segue way to brag that Nick bought me an amazing bouquet of roses yesterday!
