We're eloping!

Not really. I wish, though, because I'm already overly stressed about it. We've made three decisions so far on the wedding, and I've had people tell me that they're disappointed/upset or that they would like me to consider doing all of them differently. All three decisions! I thought it was our wedding, but apparently I was way off.

First of all, I love you. On your issues:

1) I didn't get married at St. Rose. You're one-upping me by getting married in a church at all! And a Catholic one! Feel free to remind them of that, I don't care if you throw me under the bus.

2)I got married on a Sunday. Sundays are cheaper, weddings are expensive.

3)I gave in on this one. I also had friends in my party so that was used against me, but it was not my original plan to have 7 bridesmaids. I did however, insist on Milk Chocolate in the chocolate fountain, instead of Dark, so at least I kinda sorta got my way. I think my new sister-in-laws are great but if they were going to be in my party I would have been 100% happier had it been my own choice.

Don't listen to the people telling you to plan YOUR wedding around their schedule.

If they can't deal with it, don't invite them. Tough.

(I'm in a hardcore bad mood today...in case you couldn't tell by the above comment. But seriously? It is your wedding. Take charge. Be fierce.)

family drama totally rules as you can tell. Anyway, if they're not paying, don't let'em call any shots. Its your day not theirs. Do what'll make you feel the happiest. Oh, and matt too.

Also, it's really easy for people who've never gone through this to say, "fuck 'em, do what you want." It's simply NOT that easy, and super stressful. Don't feel like overruling the family should be easy- it's not. It's damn hard.

All I can really advise is that you should pick your battles and focus on what's really important to you. In the end, it's only ONE day, and you won't really remember that many specific details after you've gone through it.

If you need to vent, give me a call.
