Planning a Wedding is like planning for a stress test :)

The only difference is, is that at the end you get to change your name. But even that takes forever and you have to jump thru 10 million hoops to do it. Unless you are of course the man. Which once again, you get off easy. Who the hell knew, or remembers, how much planning goes into a wedding? No one. And how far in advance you need to start? You just don't think about it. You think, hey it's not for 6 months...well sweetheart, 6 months is really not that far away. Places may be booked. Things take time to order, or get printed. Damn, if you are someone who made lists before this, you are gonna start making lists for your lists. It's just insane.

Who's gonna wear what? Who are you gonna invite? Date? Place? Wedding party? Invites? Food? Favors? Theme? And then the 50 things that you didn't even think about until you start answering all these questions. Yeah, it's like playing whack a mole. And you slowly start wondering if you should just run away and get married. But then wait, people will be disappointed that they weren't a part of it. Well, then we can have just a reception. Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's do that. But wait, our mothers. Children getting married is important to their mothers if no one else. Well do you just go to the court house and just bring the mom's? WTF???

Just realize you aren't gonna make everyone happy. Do what you want to do and make you both happy. Make sure you do what you want and that's all that matters. But even then you are gonna questions your self. You are gonna have to cut corners because you are part of the poor club but you can still have a good time. It doesn't have to be a huge fancy wedding. You aren't fancy, romantic, center of attention people. So go with what's fun and your style. Pig over a fire if you want. Pony rides, slip and slide. Horse Shoes, Country Western dancing. Whatever you want. All that matters is that you will be together, forever. And that the people that you love and that love you will be there with you.
