Misconception #1

The first misconception of wedding planning is "It's all about you, it's your day."  Well, not really... it isn't all about you, it's all about everyone who is involved.  What they want, what they like, what they want and don't want to wear, what you should do, what is etiquette, etc.  To be honest it is much more stressful than I ever imagined.  

First stress... when you're parents are divorced it makes every aspect of planning anything much more difficult.  Lesson #1 -- DO NOT GET A DIVORCE!  It's hell on your children.  Who sits where, who walks down the aisle, who gets flowers, who gets invited to what, etc. etc. etc. 

Second stress... showers and parties.  Planning things with a large group of people is almost impossible.  I will be doing my best having me and Cory there and on time!!  Fall is crazy busy for the both of us -- so let's pray for rain on days that I need Cory in Walnut Ridge!  With that being said, I hate that people are taking time out of their schedules to do something for us -- I feel like it is almost annoying for some. 

Third stress...  Food.  Still food issues.  What to eat?  What to serve?  Full dinner?  Buffet? Just dessert?  Food is going to be one of the most expensive things that I purchase, so I just want to be sure that it is perfect. 

I think that one problem is that when you are 27 years old, you have been in a lot of weddings, helped with a lot of weddings, hosted a lot of showers.... and you kind of expect the same in the return.  Lesson #2, don't expect things from others.  You do for others because you want to not because you expect something in return.  I'm really working on that... and it's hard. 

Oh ya, wedding dress shopping... ya, there is a stress.  Stuff not fitting, too little, itchy, expensive.  Wew, that is still a decision to be made!  Lesson #3, stop eating.


Happy Tuesday, it's food day at work.  I want cheese dip all day.
