It's mostly a place for me to vent my wedding frustrations. I assume after the wedding, it will be a place for me to vent my married frustrations. I did the livejournal thing for years, still have my account, but I'm starting fresh.
I'm getting married. Big surprise. April 18, 2009 I'll officially become a Mrs. Why is it I'm so much less excited about that than the average bride I encounter on the knot? (A place I spend far too much time and have since about January.) Don't get me wrong, I love Jason, I want to be his wife, but I'm just not head over heels about ZOMG I AM GOING TO BE MARRIEDDDDD. I get to have a wedding! I get to have all eyes on me!
That's totally not me. This wedding has been nothing short of terrifying to plan for me. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad, but really, should it take 2 months to pick out an invitation? And will people really care nearly as much as I have? They'll spend 8 seconds getting the information off of it and either toss it or put it on their fridge, if I'm that lucky. But yet I spent agonizingly large amounts of time on this. I'm still not completely convinced I chose the right one.
I'm not a person that should be given that many options. I should be given two, maybe three, but never more than that. My life would be so much simpler.
Anyway, the real reason that sparked my desire to start this blog was the dreaded "Bridesmaids Newsletter". For those of you that are not married or who are and were never completely obsessed with your wedding, this is the new thing. Brides spend hours designing these newsletters to send out to their girls to let them know EVERYthing you've been working on.
Why in God's name would your bridesmaids want to know you have officially decided on a cake and have booked the baker? Can someone PLEASE explain this to me? Does anyone really care they you found the shoes to go with your dress other than you and possibly your mother? And the girls on the knot? No.
And do bridesmaids really need a newsletter to know where to find their dress? Send them a farking email! Gah! Ok, in all honesty, I will set up a special page on my wedding website for them to log into that will hold all that info, but that is only so if they forget, they know they can go look it up.
Your bridesmaids have one job, wear a dress whilst standing next to you on your wedding day. If they happen to be interested in your wedding plans, then by all means, drown them in senseless wedding talk. I know I do! But only if they ask or show interest. It's like your birthday, the only person really excited about it is you and maybe your significant other because it means they get to go out to eat too.
Ok, I'll stop complaining now.
