Wedding planning is TOO HARD somebody else do it for meeeeeeeeeeeee.

I wasn't one of those kids who planned their wedding! Marriage wasn't something I factored into my future and now I'm lost and overwhelmed and also I'm poor and weddings are expensive and the other day Edward was all like, "Honestly, I'd rather spend money on ANYTHING ELSE," and I was like well I guess you shouldn't have put a ring on it you big dummy because this is happening and there's nothing you can do to stop it sorrrryyyyyy my sisters already know there's no going back now plus my gramma is SO OLD and I'd like her to be able to go while she still knows who I am (senile dementia, like whoa there, hold your horses, I gotta get married here, you know?).

Also, my family is way too big I did my "must haves" list and it was 90% family and I'm already up to 70 people what am I gonna dooooo, they're going to want to like, EAT and DRINK BOOZE and that stuff is 'spensy you guys! And can we TALK ABOUT DRESSES???

WHY SO EXPENSIVE IT'S JUST WHITE FABRIC. Luckily Ann Taylor exists and I think I found something for like, $300? But then my sister is like "FITTINGS ARE SUPER FUN LET'S DO THAT?" And I'm like, ugh no way I'm too fat and I get all sweaty when I try clothes on because trying stuff on is stressful, but then my mom is going to be there also and my sisters and who knows who else, but it always seems like a lot of people go to those things, unecessarily?

And now my mom's friend is like, "I have my old dress from when I got married in the 80s AND my grandmothers dress from when she got married who even knows when and it's yellowed lace but you should do something with it!" And she's like 10 feet taller than me AND thinner than me and I wouldn't know what to do with someone else's dress?

And I've never even been IN a wedding OR like, a bachelorette party so I don't know about any of this stuff????!!!!!!????

I'm going to elope except nope, Edward's mom would be SO SAD.

And can we talk about how lopsided this ceremony is going to be in terms of family? Because he only has five immediate family members. And his gramma might not come because she's a crazy old French lady, and I'm pretty sure his uncle doesn't even LIKE me* so he might not come, and then it would just be his mom and dad and brother and his brother's going to be IN the wedding.

And have I told you guys that I have zero friends here? All of my friends are in Alabama and I feel real bad asking them to fly out here but I also REALLY NEED THEM TO COME TO MY WEDDING. Otherwise it's going to be JUST my family.

I say "like" a lot when I ramble. I'm only human OKAY.

*Edward's uncle, in fact, has only met me once and he probably has no problem with me (said Edward when I told him I thought his uncle didn't like me), I just don't know him well and assume everyone thinks I'm annoying. And after this like-tastic post, you can probably understand WHY I think everyone thinks I'm annoying!

I AM A SPAZ.

o_o; 70 people for the wedding? CAN I COME?
I don't drink but i do eat chicken so yeah hook that shit up.
fittings sound gross.. i mean you try ona dress with your sweat and amelie juices flowing and then the next woman tries on the same dress later on and so on and so forth.. it all sounds so.. yuck.


i'd ask the alabama folks to come. hey, I'D COME, just so that i can have an excuse to visit portland and find hipster girls to have weeklong flings with.


and yes you're a spaz lol jk you're no spaz but yo for real if you want me to kick that harvard kid's ass I will just say the word and I'll beat him like sailor moon beat beryl

SOUNDS LIKE THE BEGINNING OF THE NUTANGER SECTION AT WEDDINGS.

Things will work out. I never want to plan a wedding, though...it's going to be me, the hubs, twenty to thirty CLOSE guests, and a home-cooked meal. I don't envy you having to plan for a hundred or so.

re: Rosetta Stone, I hear, is a terrible program that doesn't teach you how to communicate, really. It more so just teaches you the words and the grammar. This is what I hear. But yeah, I agree, totally; I wish my parents had had the forethought to get me involved in languages early on. I always wanted to be like Cleopatra--I think she knew something like eleven or thirteen different languages.

i fear the "yellow lace."

i have this "ivory" shirt, but it looks like a white shirt that is really really old and musty.

re: i listened to that song by the misfits, and i like it, and i learned it. it's only like a minute long. maybe i'll make a vid for it.

My uncle's wedding had 280 people and most of the relatives were from his wife's side. I'm sure if you just send the invitations, your friends will find a way to get there. Try to have fun planning the wedding, don't worry about the things, they will somehow fall into place.

I'm like you.. whilst some of my friends already have their wedding planned to the smallest detail, I don't have a single clue on what the hell will happen because I don't see it happening.

Maybe your tailor can put the two dresses together and add some fabric to create your dress?
