Do you ever smell something and it takes you to a place you had long forgotten?  This happens to me a lot actually.  Sometimes smells will just “come” and it makes me think of a certain time or place.  Most of the time I love when this happens.  Being transported to a memory you forgot you had.

The other day I was checking out a fellow knottie’s planning bio, she has a LARGE to-do checklist.  It was overwhelming really.  🙂  But as I skimmed down the list I noticed one particular item.  *Buy new fragrance and wear for wedding related events.  Hmmmm, really?  This made me stop and pause for a minute.  I had never thought to do this.  Why?  I have no idea considering.

A week or so before M and I went to London 2 years ago I picked up a new body spray at Target.  I wanted something that would travel easily and didn’t feel like lugging my regular perfume around.  The body spray I grabbed is pretty different from my normal everyday perfume and I thought it was nice to have a new “smell” while we were on vacation.  Ever since then, when I use the body spray I immediately think of our trip to London.  Funny huh?

Well that’s the point of this post.  It’s funny because just the other day I used the body spray, thought about how it always reminded me of London but never thought to do the same for our wedding.

I told M this morning that each of us needed to get a new scent that we only wear for wedding related things.  When I reminded him of the body spray and how it reminds both of us of London, he agreed.  Granted we will just pick up something inexpensive since we both got more perfume and cologne for Christmas.

I’m kind of excited about this and want to thank this knottie for sharing.  I can’t wait to have something that will transport me back to such a special event in my life.  Things like anniversaries will hopefully be a bit more special when that certain “smell” is used.

TGIF!
