Special Snowflake in a Mason Jar

[offbalance]

There have been many ups and downs in the process of planning this crazy wedding shindig. Many. The important thing is that I have people to share it with. And even more importantly, people to snark it with

In the end, all you're going to care about is who was there to share the day with you and how much fun people had. And how you look in the photos. As long as you're married and happy at the end of the day, you win.

My feelings exactly.

Well said m'dear. Not for nothing, but I couldn't tell you any thing much about the room that Puck and I said our vows in, save for a few things: 1) it was well lit, 2) there was room for his uncle to join us, 3) there was a window.

Was the carpet stained? Were there perfect little flower/lace decorations? Who fucking knows(seriously, I have no clue). What I do remember is looking at his face while we were doing the ceremony.

Thank you! And Aw. But yeah, so many of these recaps talking about seeing their fiance at the altar and being "overwhelmed with emotion", and I think they just snapped after too many late nights trying to sew/glue/glitter crap.

I still think that you might have been smarter than me in regards to the eloping. :P

[quasisonic]

Yeah. I got really sick of wedding recaps because no one was able to write a plain simple "how it went" its all that ridiculous sweeping bullshit.

Of COURSE you're going to be emotional. Its your WEDDING FFS. Stop acting like that is such a shocking revelation. Its like telling me you served food, or had guests. WE KNOW.

[offbalance]

So true. A Practical Wedding is the worst at that - some of them are so overwrought it's hard not to laugh out loud.

Like I just did at your comment. XD

"I don’t want to run around with my hair on fire running about stupid details. I do that every day at my job and it sucks."

True story, yo.

[offbalance]

Right? And egads, there might even be a real sentence in that quote. This is why I am always editing!

Sounds like a "stupid details" bonfire is in order. Oh, and SPOT ON call for the fake bake with tiffany box cake set. I've seen/gone to so many of those, they all blur together- except for the one where the bakery completely punted on the color of the cake. Bridezilliciousness abounded that day.

[offbalance]

Excellent! I will bring the makings for s'mores.

I can only imagine. And the ones that don't go for the Tiffany cake get Louis Vuitton cakes. For taht extra classy touch. ::gag::

[katiebea]

the secret to s'mores? Use saltines instead of graham crackers. you will make the happyface many times.

And hurrk, to the handbag cakes. I'd rather have a plain-ass cake that tasted like the gods colluded on it. Now, if your cake is thematic on something that means a lot to both of you? Ok! Meaning! Emotion! Feelings! Awesome! case/point- my non-lj friend Hilary's wedding cake was Dark Crystal themed (and awesome enough to make wedinator). She and her husband first started talking through a mutual love of said movie. Now, that I can get behind. Not so much purse-cake.

I find that anything that requires a serious amount of fondant really is an express ticket to failtown. But you're right - taste will always win in my opinion.

Fun fact? I don't even think we're having cake! We'll likely be doing several bite-sized passed desserts instead, which I'm much more psyched about.

Imagine having to deal with someone for 16 hours a day, every single day, who perceives *every last action* as some deep, personal hidden emotional neon sign.

Welcome to my world. I cant imagine why I havent been arrested yet.

[offbalance]

I am in awe of the fact that you've not been arrested. I can't imagine dealing with that level of self-absorption on the regular. It's got to be maddening.

[bronxelf_ag001]

You.
Have.
No.
Idea.
