Okay, so I have been engaged for 3 months now and as confused as ever! Since when does wedding planning turn people into completely different beings? I don't think I have changed much. Well, OK, so I have gained a few pounds and dread the questions of "Have you found a dress?" "What are your colors?" "What will the bridesmaids wear?" "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" OK, enough!
I am not good at planning, never have been. To tell the complete truth, my mom and dad are planning the entire thing. All I ask is that the wedding is casual and people don't make a huge production out of an intimate occasion. Let me just say, here and now, that wedding planning, production and execution is a gold mine business. Have you ever seen the prices these people charge? Outrageous! $200.00 for a topiary rental- you don't even get to keep the darn plant for that price, only borrow it for a few hours!!! (Of course we crossed it off of the "Decorations Proposal"- but I still can't stop thinking about it!)
So, as I sit here in my living room, contemplating whether or not I should elope, I decided to chronicle my journey to wedded bliss! There is really no purpose to this blog, except to offer me an outlet to vent and maybe create a revolutionary uprising of women against unfair wedding prices, or WAUWP. No, but really, it is an alternative to expensive therapy sessions!
Don't misunderstand me, I am incredibly excited to be married to the man I love, I am just not excited about all of the unnecessary hype that is centered around wedding planning and execution. I want to ensure that all stresses are minimized for all who are involved- but am finding this to be a conundrum.
So here goes nothing. I have 7 1/2 months to get in shape, find a dress, choose colors for the bridesmaids, pick out invitations, get in shape, choose our music, choose vows, calm down family members, get in shape, choose a honeymoon destination, figure out how to fund a honeymoon with cash only, and get in shape (have I mentioned that yet?). So yes, I have a lot to do still. I better get a move on it!!!

Wow! That was a very funny and so true blog. I have been there and you know how, where and when to find me if you need me. Know one thing all the stress in the end will be well worth it. Plus they say you're supposed to get married once, but since none of our family was there it didn't count.
So what Do the bridesmaid dresses look like?
This blog is a great idea--pretty funny and oh so true! Let me know if I can help out with any planning or anything, but knowing me I'll probably just laugh hysterically when you have to decide between baby's breath and some other obscure green accent.
Relax sister, everything is going to be fine, i mean you're having it at home, your families will be there and everything will be beautiful and comfortable for you and Oscar, no worries girl. I am here for your vent sessions, let me know how else i can help.
