Spam subject line of the day:
"Bomb her womb with your massive canon [sic]."
Anyway.
So about this wedding stuff. This weekend, my sister asked me if we'd set a date yet. Um, what? I didn't know you were supposed to set a date right after becoming engaged. We're both so poor! I figure that the actual wedding is at least two or three years away. I guess that depends on how big it is, though, right? If it's like a 15-20 people sort of thing, we can do that in my mom's backyard in a couple of months.
I have never planned a wedding before, but it would seem to me that the first thing to do is decide when I'd like to get married, and what sort of wedding I'd like to have. Then I guess we would make a guest list so we'd know how many people we're looking at.
And why do people keep asking me if they get to be a bridesmaid? I think that's tacky. I've never asked anyone that, not even my sister. Why do I need bridesmaids anyway? I thought you just need a Maid of Honour and you're good to go.
The cost of a big wedding freaks me out. And I'm not so great at large groups of people all staring at me (the way I get through weddings now is just to tell myself, "Hey, no one cares what I'm wearing, since I'm not the bride." That's not going to work this time). I don't need a lot of fanfare. And that's money I could be using as a down payment on a house! Or on our trip to England!
I am a cheap, bitter bastard.
