wedding frustrations
i have to get this off my chest, because it's really starting to frustrate me.
i appreciate everyone's concerns regarding the wedding, but please PLEASE just sit back and wait for the details. I have planned many events before on my own (hello! Fanime....), and while the suggestions are nice, they are not exactly what matt or i would like to hear at this point. we know what we want and how we're going to do it, and we're not going to budge no matter how much criticism/slack we get for it. my point is "who's wedding is it anyway?" (god, someone should make that into a reality TV series....)
the more people try to throw down on us, the more we're going to be inclined to not share the moment with anyone. (i'm sure any other couple who has been through this can whole-heartedly understand, or even the single person trying to put together their own party) we have a really tight budget, so we can only afford to invite a few people to the party when we do have it, and it will not be extravagant or tre chic when it happens. i'm trying my hardest to stay away from being a bridezilla by not involving anyone else except us for the whole planning process; matt is my anchor in this whole journey, and will continue to be so. i just want people to come to the party, relax and enjoy themselves. like anyone would at a bbq.
as for the "elopement" issue... yes, we're spreading the news, but there's nowhere where it says that it HAS to be secretive, only that it usually is. we can tell people just to let them know that it's happening, and i've told people as a measure of my happiness, not for people to criticize or attempt to "crash" the ceremony. i just wanted to share my excitement about getting married to matt.
thanks for the well wishes and congratulations, and i hope this event will come off as great as we're planning it to be.
