i do not recommend wedding planning the way we are doing it to anyone.
because, oh my god, the projects.
things we have taken on:
dessert buffet/candy favor table
champagne cocktail & cider-spiking table
pre-ceremony snacks
all signage for ceremony & reception inc. programs
all flowers (i have NO background in floral arrangement, by the way...)
my veil
ketubah design & printing
huh. writing it all down there makes it seem WAY less daunting as a lot of those things are under control already... so why the hell am i so stressed out???
oh yeah, cause under control does not = done... we still have to FINISH this shit...

not for the faint of heart...
this wedding planning business - its for the birds.
or at least for the less-opinionated...
last night we spent 3 hours or so thinking we had to redo our centerpieces.
centerpieces that we had hammered out back in like, February.
after 3 hours of deliberations, we realized we were sticking with the original plan.
seriously? i'd like those 3 hours back, please...
However, 4 weeks out is looking significantly better than 5 weeks out did... even with those 3 hours lost...
still would like to lose 10lbs but i've come to terms with it... we still dont have a florist, but i dont know if i need one anymore - centerpiece designs are DONE... we've got the room layout, the kehtuba is nearly done, the logo is final, the videographer resurfaced, the tablecloths are ordered (and cheaper than expected! woo!) Programs have been mentally designed - just need to have a final meeting with the minister, as have menus, pending final caterer meeting, which is scheduled...
and just for fun? i added in a makeup lesson. you know, cause i wasnt busy enough...

what do you mean its less than 5 weeks away?
hold on, let me get this straight... in less 5 weeks, the wedding will be a memory...
say what?
i've had no alterations on my dress, still have 10lbs more to lose (pipe dream, that one), no florist, no centerpieces, it appears my tablecloths have been discontinued, my videographer quit, we have no limos, no logo, no programs, no menus, only half of the dessert planned out, no room layout, no photobooth props, no bridal party gifts, no kehtuba, no readings, my veil isnt done, jewelry isnt picked out.
and i'm supposed to hold down a job while finishing it all up?
seriously???
