Taking things too seriously
Today I met with my coordinator at the country club where my wedding will be held this Sunday. I gave her total attendee numbers and total meal choice numbers.
Somehow, somewhere, someone cannot add, and it is NOT me. It is actually Microsoft’s Excel. It is Bill Gates’ fault. Alas, one guest asked to have fish instead of vegetarian. That means, PLUS one fish. MINUS one vegetarian. RIGHT!? But for now, we are definitely good enough for government,
I came home and told my mother-in-law asked me how things were going. Our conversation went like this:
MIL: How did it go?
ME: Good! Things are in order. I’m frustrated because I lost a meal.
MIL: You threw up!?
ME: EW! NO! I can’t get my meal totals to add up the same on two different spreadsheets!
MIL: *giggles*
ME: *smiles*
There comes a point in your planning when it is totally time to let go. It is not easy. Dear sweet lord, it is NOT easy. But, I know things will go fine, and if not, they will go fine enough.
Also? I picked up my dress tonight. It is hanging about ten feet away from me. It is pretty. It is FINAL. No more alterations. It is READY. I guess I AM really getting married in three days.

Just started up my blog while preparing for my marriage. I thought your blog looks really cool.

I am SO very excited for you Stacie! So very excited! I will be thinking about you and M on Saturday in hopes that EVERYTHING goes smoothly and you feel the love.
Do me a favor (and I tell all my bride friends this) at least once during the reception, stop, look around and take in the fact that those people are there to celebrate their love for you and M. It may be something you remember forever.

Weddings can be insane! I remember planning mine and being super stressed but once you go down that aisle its all over and everything calms down. Of course thats after you pull out all your hair! Good luck!
