What a stressful two weeks I have had. I guess stressful is the word to use. Nothing really exciting going on... just wedding stuff. My friend, Tabitha, told me that my life is going to consist of that until the actual wedding date. By the way, we picked a date. May 20, 2006. Nothing special, I just wanted a May wedding. And the Saturday before that is May 13. I don't want to get married on the 13th of any month or any year because it might fall on a Friday one year. Not that I am terribly superstitious. You just never know.
So anyways, I don't think the actual planning part is going to be stressful. It's the actual deciding of the location that is giving me a hard time right now. I actually started to get chest pains Tuesday night after talking to my mom. This whole time, I thought that I would get married her in Huntsville because it would be easier for me to plan since I live here. I could have control of the whole situation, wouldn't have to travel back and forth to Ft. Myers (because I could easily spend $1000 just doing that from now until the actual wedding), wouldn't have to worry about how I would get everything from here to Ft. Myers for the wedding (dress, favors, etc) and back from the wedding (gifts),etc. It just sounds like it would be a hassle. So I was talking to my mom on Tuesday to tell her that Chris and I have decided on a date. She begins to tell me that it all depends on the church availability. And I told her that it doesn't even matter right now because I haven't decided where the wedding will be at anyways. Either way, I know I want it in a church. She wanted to know why I didn't know where the wedding was going to be. She was hoping that I would have it there. Yeah, ten years ago, I had hoped to get married in Ft. Myers too. But then again, I never had plans to move away from Ft. Myers. The problem is that Chris' family lives in Tennessee, my (immediate) family lives in Florida, and we live here. No matter where we have it somebody's family is going to have to travel. I have family scattered all over the country, even out of the country so they will have to travel regardless, if they want to attend. Right now, I am tempted to say "screw it. We are going to Hawaii to get married."
