1) As the “bride” I can pull rank on anyone at anytime.

2) Planning a wedding is hell on your weblog

3) It is impossible to write an entry that isn’t all about caterers and china patterns

4) Running away to Maui doesn’t save you from caterers and china patterns unless you don’t tell anyone you’re going.

5) The party one has before running away to Maui takes just as much money and planning as an actual wedding, so the only thing I have gained here is that the actual wedding day isn’t tainted by the stress of planning

6) Table linens are really fucking important to my mother

7) Registering for gifts takes fucking forever

8) If I had a full-time job right now, I’d probably be dead

9) Planning a wedding/party is a full time job

10) Doing your own makeup means you get many fun little toys like foundation brushes and blush called “orgasm”.

11) Eye makeup isn’t as mysterious as I once thought

12) The apples of my cheeks are totally not where I thought they were.

13) Boyfriend gets kind of grouchy when he’s stressed

14) He stresses out over things that he should just let go.

15) And yet, he’s still the sweetest man in the world and I love love love him!

16) We are both looking forward to being married.

17) There are way more people who are genuinely happy for us than I would have imagined.

18) Being the first of your generation of my family to get married means that everyone has been sitting through a wedding draught for years and they are all so excited

19) Not everyone follows RSVP protocol

20) 6 months turns into 2 months turns into two weeks from tomorrow I’m getting married in like, no time at all.

21) I can’t even finish this list because I have to take the animals to the vet and then go meet with caterers and then I’m going to get a bikini wax to see if my skin will freak out or not and if it’s all right, I’ll keep it up through the summer.

Much Love
