I hate being the center of attention at a party. Even at birthday parties, I like to spend the time in the kitchen getting stuff for people, cutting cake, and mixing punch, etc... I'm starting to dread all this. First off, there's all this trouble with the wedding shower. My future in-laws planned a vacation the week it happens, and now the MIL's panties are all in a bunch like I did that on purpose. Also, a person I never speak to anymore and who's freaking poison to me messaged me out of nowhere and was like, "hey chica, so excited for your wedding!!! See you soon!" Who told you you were invited?! Did you get a damn save the date?!

Gaaaaaah too many questions. I'm so tired of telling people how my plans are going. I am getting tired of showing people pictures of my dress. I know I know that on the day it's going to be great. Jake will make it that way, because he's wonderful and one of the few people who can make me be calm. But damnit. All this fuss. :( I miss simplicity and not being asked my opinion on colors and entrees.

This is why I'm glad I planned my wedding in 6 weeks. Just the thought of having a year to think about it gives me the shivers.

My wedding had 9 guests.

It was wonderful, simple, inexpensive, intimate, and mostly stress-free. Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.

Aw, I know, and thanks very much. :) I actually regretted posting the second after I did though, because I sound like such a whiny bitch. I know it'll be good. It's just hard to vent to family and friends, because they're all really doing so much for me right now. I know I'd come off ungrateful.

General Specific

General Specific

After my sister's wedding was over, everything had gone well, only minor mishaps here and there and everyone was up the following morning, Mom looked at me and asked me point blank if I wanted to do my wedding in Vegas.

My general response was that it wasn't really up to me, it'd be up to whichever girl I decide to marry...


#34

There was a reason that I opted to go to the Magistrate Court judge and just have it performed.

Later on, when we have another child and they both can help in the ceremony, we're going to do a vow renewal, and THEN she can have the big ol' ceremony. I will be in command of the grill.

I intend to have my wedding the traditional way. Going to a neighboring village and abducting the first female I see.

Trivia: Apparently this is where the term "best man" comes from. The groom needs to bring the best fighter from his village to back him up during the abduction, and to stand by his side during the wedding itself as a bodyguard.

I'm convinced that the whole "wedding industry" is just an experiment that got out of hand in attempt to cause psychotic breakdowns among engaged couples. Like a Milgram experiment, with lace.

I'm way late on this, but Best Wishes to you and Jake! Just remember that no matter what you wear, who comes to the ceremony, or if your parents and in-laws fight like cats & dogs - at the end of your wedding day you will be married to the one person who you want to be with more than any other.

I've heard so many people tell me absolutely nothing intimate happened on their wedding nights. Both the brides and the grooms were so physically and emotionally exhausted, they slept for like two days straight.


#44

Yeah... all of that stuff about how exciting and intimate the wedding night is? My wife and I collapsed into bed, not to be seen for a day and a half. We were at a really nice, relaxing hotel, and we didn't leave our room except to occasionally refill the ice bucket so we could keep our booze cold.

I suspected as much, but damned if I'm not going to try to be alert. It's been a crazy-busy semester, an wedding or not, there's simply no better way to top off the day. ^_^

Thank y'all again. I'd like all your posts but I can't quite figure out how on tapatalk.

Just what I tell my girlfriend! Get to the office, get it done and tell the close family to drop by for a cup of coffee or two.
Her aunt actually did this, wedding in secret early on christmas day and being at home a married couple when all the relatives called on the phone who had just reveived their christmas-and marriage-cards in the mailbox.

I don't remember my wedding being very difficult. Perhaps I have nostalgia. We had and out doors ceremony in my parents back yard. We wrote what we wanted to officiant to say and wrote our own vows. I walked down the aisle/stone pathway to a song from Soul Caliber 3.

Then it was over. The most stressful part of the day was the fact the my husband to be shower up 3 minutes before the start of the ceremony.

No one was that interested in my wedding until the day it happened!

Threads like this make me want to go to the courthouse to get hitched, followed by inviting my guests over for about $1000 worth of alcohol, pizza, and cake.

Clearly, the answer is to hump like rabbits all day before the ceremony. Should help with stress levels, too.

Just keep the big picture in your mind. It's really easy to get caught up in all the details and the nitpicks from anyone and everyone, but when it's all over it will all have gone by so fast that it'll be almost a complete blur, and all you'll be left with are pictures and good memories.

I have nothing of value to add either. but, again, happy wishes.

Also, if you want to ensure an intimate wedding night, don't have sex prior to the wedding for about three weeks. Just saying....

Congrats on the getting-married thingie. Also congrats on not going on a murderous rampage (yet).
As others have said: don't worry and don't let people drive you crazy. The day itself, you won't notice wether or not the ribbons the flowers are tied together with are properly colour-coordinated with the seating cushions... Hopefully :-P

There will be pictures right?? I want to see all the happiness! You know, if you want to share with everybody that is. :)

North, I'll be completely honest: I've been waiting til summer to really dig into those recipes. When school's in session I have to stick to the recipes I know that I can knock out quickly. My houseguests over Mardi Gras took up any cooking time I had then, too. :\ But I am all kinds of ready for some fish soup. I read that book at night sometimes instead of whatever novel I'm reading. ^_^

Kag, there will be pics! Hopefully, if you photographer EVER calls back, we're going to take engagement pics at our favorite comic book shop. So cross your fingers. I like our photographer because she likes candid shots, and I hate hate hate posing for pictures. We're gonna do the family pics as fast as we can so we can enjoy the night... But I'm really hoping we can do those engagement shots soon...
