My bunnyrabbit is freaking exhausting. But then he tears through the house binkying or flops over next to me for some cuddles and it's all worth it.
I got 53 days til go-time. Wedding planning requires navigating quite the labyrinth of bullshit. Half the advice online is really about winning "Most Pinterest-Worthy Wedding!" rather than anything that will actually make it special or memorable. And of course everything is about spending as much money as possible. All the costs are outrageously bloated to begin with, and then you're pressured into spending twice again what you actually need to for superfluous goods and services. Somehow that's not even the most predatory aspect! I believe that award goes to the multitude of websites advertising outstanding varieties of beautiful gowns for unbeatable prices, but providing absolute garbage. And it's all in China so you have no recourse or hope of getting a refund. I haven't been scammed by them, but I have wasted time browsing bridesmaid dresses on such sites until realizing it looked too good to be true and investigating.
Not to say I haven't enjoyed planning at all though. And I simply can't wait for the big day. Our venue is utterly perfect and we're going to have so many people we care about gathered together. I haven't seen Zi in more than 5 years! It's going to be wonderful.
Oh and I found Nik passed out on the floor last week and had to call 911. I've definitely had some practice in the whole "in sickness and in health" bit.
