Wedding Woes

Sunday, August 8th, 2004

I am a very laid back bride… basically as long as we get married I will be happy… The problem is everyone else… “That isn’t how it was at my wedding.” “At so and so’s wedding it was like this.” “I just thought it was going to be like this…”

I think this is one of the main reasons people elope… but I want family and friends there… I just don’t want them all to expect things to be the way they know or think they should be…

I think it will be fine in the end… some people will think some things are wrong… or tacky… or not proper… but you know what? In a week they will have forgotten and Jason and I will be married… Thats all that matters in the end.

I spent a lot of time and energy trying to please everyone that I could… and I made quite a few compromises between what I wanted and what others wanted. So we will just have to see how it all goes in the end…

Planning is too much work… I am glad I only have to do this once!!

11 days….

As Christine commented in my last post… it is less than two weeks until the wedding… It is so hard to believe… Jason and I got engaged on September 5th, 2001…. Practically three years ago… The over two year engagement was bad for a procrastinator like me… But I think everything is done… It is getting to the point where I just sit back and hope all my vendors do everything correctly… It is kind of nice yet kind of scarey at the same time. It is hard to give up the control I guess…
