(no subject)
It's been a while since I updated, so even though I'm not exactly in the mood to right now, I think I should get some stuff out. In three days it will be exactly one month until my wedding. I am SO freaking excited! Things are really coming together nicely and my mom has finally decided to show some interest and take me shopping... what!?!?... you mean I don't have to pay for everything anymore? That's crazy! I think Samantha gave her a huge push because Samantha's been doing a ton of wedding shopping/planning/prep with me and we always manage to get into a conversation about my frustration with the rest of my family and their lack of interest and support during what is supposed to be the best time of my life. It still has been a wonderful time, it just could have been a lot better. So, at least people are starting to care a little more. Well, some anyway. My aunt and uncle still don't give a shit. When I see them they don't even ask how things are going and their kids are in the damn wedding. But, of course, they better be invited to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner or I'll have my head served to me on a platter. Annoying.
I continue to hate David's Bridal. I am serious when I tell people NOT to go there when they are getting married and need to buy their dress and whatnot. The latest annoyance was that Dana bought me a pair of gloves from there that I thought I would wear with my dress. Well, since it's most likely going to be pretty chilly the day of the wedding, I decided to try on some little dressy jacket things (again, really gorgeous and really hard to explain) and really fell in love with one that goes perfectly with my dress. So I talked to a few people at David's Bridal and they told me I could exchange the gloves towards the jacket. When I came in to do that however, they told me I couldn't do it unless I had a receipt. Well, I got the damn gloves in freaking December as a gift. Dana doesn't have the receipt anymore. So, I talked to a manager and blah blah blah and they WOULDN'T freaking help me out. After all of the bullshit I've already been through with them and all of the thousands of dollars they've made between me and my bridal party, they wouldn't take back a $30 freaking pair of gloves that were still in their unopened plastic package and still had their tags on them and put them towards my damn jacket. So, I'm stuck with a pair of gloves I'll never ever ever ever ever ever ever use! Damn them! They suck SO bad.
Aside from all of the annoying things surrounding the wedding, I really am so happy to be getting married in a month. I think everything is going to turn out beautifully and be a ton of fun. And besides all of the details and the work and the money that go into the wedding, the most important part really and truly is that Gary and I are going to be married and commit to each other for the rest of our lives. I'm so in love with him it's crazy and I can't wait to be his wife. So, it will all turn out great and if anything doesn't, it really doesn't matter. Weddings have become such a big deal for everyone else but the bride and groom. I've noticed it at the several I've been to over the last year or so. It's like a huge party where everyone forgets what their really there for. At the end of the day, nothing matters except that we love each other so much that we are being joined together for the rest of our lives. I'm so happy about that and about everything else too.
I usually have some other things to touch on besides the wedding, but recently I really don't. Every minute of the day I am either wedding planning, wedding shopping, or at least thinking about the wedding. Even when I take a break and just relax with Gary or go out with a friend, I manage to find myself day-dreaming about wedding details. But I love it. And honestly, this entry makes it seem like I'm really upset about a lot of stuff, but I would do it all over again the exact same way in a heartbeat. I love planning the wedding. It's the most enjoyment I've had in my life and although I would change some things if I could, I would do it again just like this if I couldn't. I love Gary, I love everything wedding, and really, I love my life.
