Keeping the Ball Rolling

Once the venue was booked, I sort of took off running. I wasted no time booking the photographer, Jeremy Lawson (LOVE him) and the DJ. I started working on nailing down a caterer and this is proving to be more difficult then I thought. Caterers are ridiculous. I don't know how much cooking any of you do - I know that I do very little, but I do know the cost of chicken and it is not $76 per piece. When I read that from one particular caterer I thought to myself "Are you HIGH?!" This decision has been stressing me out more than anything. I'm glad I'm dealing with all of the big stuff now so I don't have to worry about it in 6 months. I started to look into all of my flower options and quickly decided that this decision will not be made by me. I can't handle it. I know nothing about flowers and I don't care about flowers. The only thing I care about is the color and the cost. My mom decided to take the reigns on this one. THANK GOD.

Moving on, the whole wedding planning process is maddening. I absolutely do not understand how some women turn this into a career after they plan their own wedding. I don't think this is fun AT ALL. I get annoyed with MYSELF for being obsessed about things that I normally would not care about. Linens, flowers, chairs..are you kidding? Why? So stupid. Oh, and now I'm bidding on doilies on eBay. WHY!?! Apparently though, these things matter in some circles.

I have to keep reminding myself - nobody will remember the things I think they will remember. They will remember they came to my wedding, we got married and we had an open bar.

Is it next year yet?
