Wedding Planning

I am getting married in 4 months! Go me!  Planning a wedding is many things and most of them are exciting.  It is also very stressful.  I think I have been doing a decent job of keeping it together, although I've definitely had my moments and I'm sure to have more as things progress.  Fortunately, I started planning the nuptials well before the engagement.  You may think that is jumping ahead, but I consider it smart.  Unlike some people who are surprised by an engagement (I was surprised when it actually happened), I was not surprised that he wanted to marry me.  My fiance and I had been planning on getting married months before the actual engagement.  That really helped because I have been getting things done rather quickly and painlessly.

I am extremely thankful for the amazing people involved in the process.  My mother, who without her the wedding would not be as fabulous as it's going to be.  My level-headed fiance, who has kept me laughing, kept me calm and patiently dealt with my emotional ups and downs.  And my fabulous group of bridesmaids who are so easy-going and supportive it's almost unreal.  Then there are the rest of my family and friends who have been offering help, planning showers and just there for anything.

There have been and I'm sure will be more bumpy moments dealing with situations related to the wedding, but listed below are some choice moments that will surely give you a good chuckle.

• Asking my fiance for his thoughts on cake and favors, and then getting mad at him for giving his input (because it was different from my idea). Go me! Fail.
• When asked about linens and chair decorations I got so overwhelmed that I told my mom I needed to go running. She got a laugh out of it, but I really was a much nicer person when I got back. Yay! Bridezilla moment averted!
•  Getting anxious when picking out bridesmaids dresses so I started sweating.  I hate asking people to spend money on something.

• Getting anxious when telling the cake designer what I wanted on my cake because I had to act like an adult. What am I a toddler? Tell the man what you want!  Can you tell I have a little issue with anxiety? Lame.

Overall, I do have to say that this is one of the most fun and exciting times, despite the stress that comes with it.
