10 Days

Wow! I can't believe we are down to 10 days until the wedding...which only means 1 thing! 11 days until I am in Jamaica! AHHH! I can't wait. It will be so nice that this long road has come to an end and I will finally be able to relax and get some sleep! Last Thursday, I had my final dress fitting, and my dress fit, so I was able to bring it home! Now, it is hanging in our living room (in a white bag) because it doesn't fit anywhere else. We have also been trying to work on contacting the non-RSVPers to get their responses.

I would like to rant for a moment: I am so sick and tired of people asking me about the wedding, me telling them that I will be so glad when it is over, and then they tell me that I have to enjoy it, it is my day, it will be fun, etc, etc. NO! Don't tell me what to do and set expectations - never set expectations because you will always be disappointed! This might be some people's fairytale and dream, but it is not mine! It is nothing but pure stress and WAYYY too much money for something that lasts 1 day. I mean it is about a marriage between 2 people, not a big event for a couple hundred people!  I am dreading the day of because there is a need to follow a super-strict time schedule so that everything can get done before the wedding so we can enjoy the party. I so wish we could just go with the flow - I mean that is how I go through life! There are so many things I just could care less about - how the DJ will introduce us as husband and wife at the reception, if there will be a blessing, what time we are doing toasts, yada yada, yada. I could just pull my hair out! If it happens, it happens, if not, it doesn't. The world won't end! Sorry for that but no one else will listen to me about it and I needed to get it out. And, don't ask why I am doing this if I don't want it, because I have no idea how we got here.

Hope everyone has a great day - it is supposed to be super-super hot and sunny here - UGH
