I'd like to give my advice to any couple out there deciding to get married and do the whole "traditional wedding". Elope. Seriously. Save your money and elope. I thought people were crazy for telling me that before but now I see there is some truth behind it. Weddings are VERY time consuming, demanding, depressing, stressful and above all expensive.
I don't mind the planning, the organizing, the researching or even the money involved. I mind the drama. There is so much drama involved in wedding planning. The most drama comes from the place you expect it to come from, the wedding party. This, although expected, still surprised me. I expected some drama but the amount of drama that has spewed from this is so overwhelming it makes me want to just say fuck it and have no one except the best men and matron of honor. I never thought I would be so disappointed in my life. You choose people who are supposedly your closet friends and family to be in your wedding and the second you need help with something virtually no one is there.
I will say though, I am thankful that I have at least 2 really truly awesome bridesmaids who would do anything for me and help me with anything day or night. With out them this whole thing would be a disaster.
101 days and counting and hopefully all this stress and anxiety will be worth it...and if it isn't, at least I have the honeymoon ;-)
