On a positive note...
I figured after the last post of anger and stress I should now post the opposite. Things are looking up. We've found some reception site that are available so we just need to decide before they disappear. We have a few more to look at this Friday and then I'm insisting to Mike that we quickly make a decision.
After looking at pictures of myself in both wedding dresses I realized a very unflattering aspect to the chiffon dress. The store called me last week saying they had to trade the chiffon dress to another store so if I wanted to try it on again I had to do it before Monday. So I went to the store and tried on the chiffon dress and realized the pictures had been right and quickly ruled it out. I then put on the beaded dress and still loved it and they offered me 25% off so I had to take it. The dress is now being made and will come in about 6 months from now. One hurdle handled.
Once we get the reception site nailed down I will feel much better. All the little details are the things I am looking forward to...flowers, decorations, invitations, bridesmaid dresses...yes that will be fun.
With the stress beginning to lift I am once again able to enjoy the fact that I am engaged to the man I love and look forward to that wonderful day when we will pledge our love to each other for forever. So sappy and romantic...I know. I also realized that part of the stress was coming from the fact that Mike and I weren't spending any FUN time together. I've been trying to make sure we are able to fit that time in and it helps a lot. After all, that is the best part of our relationship! We always have fun together and make each other laugh :)
