From Yesterday

After work yesterday, having my daily 5pm freakout

Me: “What are we going to do about rentals? Why has no one gotten back to us? WE ONLY HAVE 6 DAYS LEFT! WHAT IF WE DON’T HAVE CHAIRS?!”

Him [trying to distract me]: “I picked up the alcohol today! Look!” [Gestures over to the dining room table] “We got: 7 bottles of vodka, 7 bottles of rum, 1 bottle of whiskey, 1 bottle of vermouth, 2 bottles of tequila, 5 bottles of gin, and 36 bottles of red and white wine!”

Me [mentally counting boxes]: So our tactic is to get our guests drunk enough that they don’t realize there aren’t any seats?”

Him: Exactly!

The Final Countdown

June 28, 2010

Stuck in my head for days now.
1 WEEK TO GO!!

Confession

So I thought I would put this out there. When I ran our wedding budget and living budget and [...]

Contradictions

June 23, 2010

I’m incredibly proud of all the things we’re doing ourselves to make our day affordable, but I also get angry when I think about all the things we have to do to make this affordable.
The cynic in me scoffs at the wedding pretty and the pointless details, but deep down I’m afraid our wedding will [...]

Feeling the pressure: 2 weeks to go

June 21, 2010

Must do things left:

Finalize and place rental order. This one is making me the crazy. I have been waiting on items to rent from the caterer for 2 weeks now. The boy was supposed to call and clarify things with him last week and got nowhere because he didn’t know what to ask.
Order flowers. We [...]

On learning to gut-check

June 18, 2010

“I’ve been having doubts about our photography,” I start, eying the boy out of the corner of my eye.
He sighs.
I am prone towards second guessing. We had settled on a practical photography solution months ago, but my heart was never fully in it. I can see him mentally gathering up his arguments.
“I’ve been having nightmares.” [...]

What would Ms. Manners do?

June 17, 2010

The dreaded RSVP card. You ponder this for months.
You decide to give +1s to anyone who:

Is dating someone*
Will not know many people there

And that is all. The guest list is already 50 people over limit and counting. Hands have been wrung. Brows have furrowed. You simply cannot give more.
But how to word it? Just a name [...]
