I had no idea how stressful a wedding can be. I would love to say this is the best time of my life. But, it is not. When people tell me I should be enjoying this time, I look at them like they have two heads. I love plans. I always have. However, actually "making plans and decisions" is not my strong suit. I have realized how indecisive I am. What color linens? Purple. What type of linens? Um...pintuck. Purple linens on all the tables? Of course not? I finally told my caterer, "Look, you know what to do...do it." She told me I am the most laid back bride she has ever met. Maybe. Or maybe I am just at the "I don't care" point.
Jeremie asked me last week if I would have rather had a wedding or taken the money for the wedding. And imagine this....wait for it...I was undecided. I was never that little girl who wanted a huge wedding, which is my problem. I have no perfect idea in my head. I would be mad if I didn't have a wedding. But, is it really worth it?
What is the point of this blog? Stealing a line from a fellow outlaw, I like dogs more than people. Things you will never hear a person say to describe a dog.
1. Wow, I don't know how I feel about this dog after this wedding. His true colors are really showing.
2. That dog is so fake.
3. That dog's dress doesn't fit.
4. That dog is offended and feels left out because I don't want any help planning this wedding.
5. That dog didn't think about anyone but himself.
6. I've ignored that dog's friend request on Facebook....because clearly that dog is nosy and wants to see my wedding pictures.
7. I don't want that dog in my life.

Ahhhh yes, my Mumsy (muse)...
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me once again to share my own thoughts. Which I'll just go ahead and do...right about......now:
#1. There is a very long road between "time of your life" and "a day you will always remember." ...It's okay not to enjoy the distance between them.
B. I happened to find it a rather refreshing to experience to witness, first-hand your selfless indecision. I teased about how any time someone would ask your opinion of something - placement of the bridal party, timing of the procession, which shoes to wear (3 minutes before walking down the aisle) - no matter the decision, you would make immediate eye contact with the closest person you trusted and default to their decision! It was sweet. It also makes you a blessing to work with. ...I think it says a lot about a person's character when she can be neutral about the details in life that are less important than the relationships surrounding them.
C. Funny you should decide to make a "list" with this one. --Know what I was doing on my last smoke "break" before I read your blog? Making a List. -Of lists I wanna blog about. I decided it'd be so much easier to say what I wanted to say if I just put it in list form. After all, that's clearly how MY brain functions!? Expect to see some lists henceforth. [Yeah, "henceforth." Because words are the opposite of rare animals: if you don't use them, they become instinct. And "henceforth" is entirely too fun a word to lose...]
# 4. And as far as the dog analogy... Pure genius.
I was just telling Paul how every single time I attempt to write "God," it comes out: "Dog." Some might call that Dyslexia. I call it a sign.
Love ya, Outlaw.
