When will I be normal again?

Hi, my name is Tiffany and I suffer from wedding brain. I always said I would never be that girl who gets totally consumed in her wedding plans, but it is happening whether I like it or not. I can be sitting at work, creating a spreadsheet or editing marketing literature (so far from anything wedding-related) and my brain will completely divert to centerpieces or cake toppers. I'm running through a constant checklist in my head. I find myself stopping to Google pictures of certain ideas so I can show them to my mom and the planner. It's like I've developed ADD in the last few months. However, I think I am handling things pretty well. I've managed to remain calm and laid back about the whole situation. No bridezilla episodes. Mom and I have butted heads over details a couple of times, but I expected that. I think the wedding brain will subside in about a month when absolutely everything is set in stone. Speaking of which, I REALLY need to finish our website. I don't want it to seem like I'm complaining, though. I am truly excited and it really is going to be an amazing wedding.

Right now, the ever-growing guest list and the music are on my mind more than anything. Invitations and save-the-dates have been ordered, but I keep thinking of people I need to add or I reconnect with old friends who "jokingly" demand an invite. I am also having a hard time convincing Justin that it is not necessary to invite ALL of his fraternity brothers. I love that it's going to be a big wedding, but I don't want it to be too big. We've been pouring over tons of music for the ceremony and key reception moments, but have yet to make a solid decision. This part is fun and frustrating at the same time (can't use Coldplay for everything-heh). Music is something I'm very passionate about, so I want to choose the perfect pieces. Too bad I love so many different songs.

I updated my calendar the other day and I realized that this summer is going to be fun, but insanely busy. With my planning, Lauren's wedding events, Matt's wedding events, setting up house, and a couple of trips in the works, I am not going to have much time to sit still. Better soak it up while I can.
