have I reached The Edge?

Posted by Sara in Weddings.

We have just 8 days until our wedding and I’m beginning to feel an extreme mixture of apathy and panic about the final details for our wedding planning.

Apathy as in there are about 5 projects strewn about our living room, partially completed and I have no real motivation to go any further with any of them. 

Panic as in I finally hit a point where I hit oh-shit-this-needs-to-be-done-so-I-have-to-do-it-RIGHTNOW adrenaline insanity mode. For instance, tonight, when I snuck into an AC Moore that had already closed so I could pull a supermarket sweep move and throw as many spools of chocolate brown and ivory ribbon into my hands as possible before one of the (understandably) annoyed clerks came through to somewhat politely push me out towards the registers. “M’mam, we closed 10 minutes ago. You need to bring your purchases up NOW.” 

I didn’t even blink when they told me the total was $39. Pffft, that’s it? If I would have told them it was for my wedding, they probably would have tacked on an additional $15 for good measure. And you know what? At this point, I would be willing to pay it. Finally, after 14 months of trying to buck the system, I am beginning to cave…

but this leads me to a point about “the system,” the viewpoint on marriage, and why I’m pissed off about it.

Being that it’s 2 a.m., however, all that shall be saved for another post.

Instead I must rest before a day of table arranging, bow making, and plan finalizing.

’til next time dear friends…
