Wedding Woes

I know people say wedding planning can be stressful…but OH MY GOSH.

I love planning. I absolutely thrive off of details, and lists, and meetings and such. But oh my goodness I have never been so utterly overwhelmed in my life.

I had a mini breakdown last week. Hence the lack of posting. My b!

Things are fine…it was mostly just little thing after the next. My fiancé and I know like eight people getting married this summer and working around dates has been so difficult and frustrating. Then finding a venue has been hard because my budget was too small to allow any room to be flexible…so I had to adjust that, which is fine but I'm not exactly a millionaire over here and neither are my parents.

We figured out a venue. And then looking at our guest list I didn't know how in the world we were going to condense it and narrow it down to the maximum that our venue can hold.

All in all last week was a little overwhelming.

Thank goodness I have a wonderful fiancé and supportive friends and wonderful parents who are helping us out a lot.

Lesson learned: DON'T LET THE WEDDING BECOME BIGGER THAN THE PERSON YOU ARE GOING TO MARRY.

That's so easy to do…getting caught up in the details, and the cost, and the overwhelming amount of steps to check off one by one.

Last night I realized that I'm getting married. To the love of my life and my best friend. The wedding will be wonderful, because it will be celebrating our marriage, our life together and the creator of this Earth!

Marriage is a gift. I won't take it for granted.
