Two flights up its ... 4 in the morning
I need to go make my lunch.
Life's been a bit of a rollercoaster the last few weeks. Working A LOT ... but doing a fair amount of "resting" when I can, too. Dez and I have gotten along, and I've made her cry. I've felt extremely well rested, and I've felt like a tired sack of shit (today). But that's life.
I'm stressed to the friggen gills right now because last night, at our "Father's Day Family Gettogether" my mom decided to pull even more bullshit about the wedding. She's basically been anti-everything as far as planning goes. But it's not the useful kind of "Well, here's a relevant idea at the time you need it." No. It's more like "Lemme sit on this for 3 months, then force the idea into place when it's completely inconvenient." Rocking job, Mom. She's positive that moving the wedding ceremony from 1p to 3p will greatly increase the number of people who can attend. Dez and I, frankly, don't think it's a big deal. We know we're getting married on a Monday. We know it's weird. We know people won't be able to make it for 1000 reasons. Fine, no biggie, Dez is the one I'm concerned about being there. Everyone else is icing on the cake (well, they eat the icing on the cake ... but ... I digress).
My mom thinks that people will be more likely to attend because they only have to take a half-day off work if it's at 3p, instead of a full-day if it's at 1p. I never realized there was a difference. If you're not at work, you're not at work. Dez and I had planned it for 1p to take advantage of good afternoon / evening lighting, to serve dinner around 4p, and to get everyone out and headed home around 8p ... early enough to not make Tuesday harder. If we move it back, dinner and the end of the reception also get pushed back.
I'm curious, though. You, some of the folk who will be attending the wedding, what do YOU think? Does two hours make a difference? Would it matter to you? Don't worry about hurting our feelings or anything - I want honesty, dammit. Please?
I'm gonna go make my lunch.
