I hate weddings
So if you don't want to read me bitching about wedding planning, I am giving you the chance to close out of this now....
So I am pissed. For one, I am in a lot of pain because I just had a crown put on my back molar which was chipped. So much of this might be pain related.
First of all, I want to say that people don't seem to realize how hard it is planning a wedding on a budget. I am trying to make the most elegant, sit down dinner possible with limited funds. You girls who have an open budget for your wedding, I commend you and am jealous but I am not in that boat.
Now, the whole guest situtation. Andy and I wanted an intimate wedding with only people WE KNEW. We did not want just random people sharing this moment with us. We weren't doing a feeding trough/buffet where it didn't matter on an exact number. We are doing a sit down dinner so when people are taking it upon themselves to add guests, it's putting alot of strains on us.
When your invitation doesn't read "Mr. Blank & Guest" that means you do not bring a guest. Now there are exceptions. Those of you who emailed me and asked to bring someone, that's fine, that's wonderful. You are showing us the respect that we deserve. Those of you who are just adding people to the RSVP, I want to kill you. AND... people aren't even putting down the name of the person, they are just putting "and guest" so in my mind that means you don't even know who the fuck you are bring. You are going to gather someone off the streets and bring them to our wedding. So much for being intimate.
You know, when all you people get married, I am bring a whole posse to your wedding. I am bringing everyone I've ever met in my life.
Secondly, the lady who's doing our flowers, very nice woman, doesn't seem to understand I am not made of money. We agree on a set price for the florals and now I hear that she "Went a bit over what we agreed on". Why was I not contacted before you did this? Why did you take this upon yourself?
My wedding is 15 days away and all I really want to do is puke. Everytime I get a little bit excited about it, something else happens to just piss me off.
