Every once in a while I'll wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep because I re plan my wedding in my head.
This morning this went on from 3am (from when I got up to clean cat vom off our carpet) and was wide awake until it was daylight out. FML
I'm stressed out and frankly, I'm totally depressed over the whole thing.
Pardon my French, but weddings are bull shit.
You can't make anyone happy. Everything is overpriced (a thousand dollars for flowers are you kidding me?) Every married woman has told me to "just elope"
When we got engaged I told Aaron that I would take care of everything. I've already been thinking about it for a while and I have plenty of time at work to research vendors.
The problem is that I didn't know that we'd be working with a 9 thousand dollar budget (including our honeymoon). That's 5 grand from my Mom and Pseudo Step Dad and 4 grand that Aaron and I can pull together over the next year.
In hindsight that seems like a lot of money, but even to plan a small wedding it's practically impossible.
Can't we just elope on our honeymoon and put 7-8 grand towards saving for a house?! Wouldn't that be a smarter idea?
Granted, I'm not engaged yet, but this is what I think... What is the most important part for you? For me, it would be having all my loved ones at one place, celebrating with me. So if I had budget constraints, I might have a small ceremony and a bigger reception. There are a lot of creative ways to make it work. And thanks to stumbleupon, ive been reading a ton of wedding blogs for the day I'm in your shoes!
ReplyDeleteAnyway you do it, you'll be so happy. I don't doubt that!
Thanks Meg. We hopefully found a venue and we can probably afford to do something really small with 50 people. So I'm feeling much better. Do you have any photographer suggestions near LA? Haha
