Wedding Wednesday

mpickl

Let's share some #engagedgirlproblems.

My ring is so big I can't wear gloves!

My budget is so big, I have TOO many choices!

My venue is so beautiful I can't use any of the decorations I wanted!

(Sidenote: obvi these are all exaggerations and def not my own personal situation...)

Whadda ya got??

Go out to a bar with your single friends and guys that approach automatically disregard you as "off the market" and cant even have a normal conversation with you.

People can't resist and always ask when we are going to have children---even though the wedding is 10 months away and I do NOT want to be pregnant in my already tight gown!

I love my ring so much that I honestly hate taking it off even when I'm cleaning.

And haha kinda a spin off the fake one, my venue is so naturally pretty that I am afraid to go over the top with flowers and such because I want people to focus on the detail.

OMG yes.  FMIL has started buying newborn summer clothes because "i'll be pregnant right after the wedding, right?" While that is the plan, what if we decide to wait a bit?

I sometimes snag my engagement ring on blankets, pulling up hose, and sweaters. 

Sometimes I miss a red light turning green because I'm playing with my ring's reflection in the sunlight. 

Co-workers asking for details of the wedding and when it is... when I know I'm not going to be able to invite them because our guest list is on the smaller size.

Being accused of being annoyingly happy.

I'm allergic to flowers (can't even be in the same room as them) but I really want real flowers in my centerpieces.  I have fake flower bouquets for all my girls and fake boutonnieres.

My best friend had her wedding before mine and used most of my ideas for her wedding and about 40 people from her wedding will be at mine : ( so I am going to change some of my ideas so I don't look like I copied her.

Goofy, pretty much everything you said!

People keep trying to jinx me with baby #2, though I have no interest, and my gown hugs Every.Single.Curve of my body.  Negative, chief.

I also get caught sitting at my desk with TK up, twisting my hand under the lights to watch the firestorm that goes off in all of the diamonds.  Like I'm doing right now...and have been for about 5 minutes while thinking of "problems" lol.

Oh here is a good one.  How about how I check the fb/website/my wedding email for any sort of glimpse of a sign of my freaking epics.

I even went as far as changing my primary gmail account on my iPhone to the wedding one so I get notifcations when I get a new email to keep myself from keeping my gmail open ALL DAY LONG and continuely refresh it.  I prob check the fb/website 200 times a day.  And I'm not exaggerating.  Hey, he said 3 weeks and it has now been 3.5 lol.

FREAK!

Your phone doesn't allow you to get notifications for more than one Gmail account??  I have 3 set up (Droid).  Play with your settings, you might be able to work something out.

 Our wedding is my new hobby. I spend all my time researching wedding stuff.  So much so that whenever my fiance walks into our office I immediately close the tab on my computer. I don't want him to see me reading one of many wedding websites.  It looks like I'm trying to hide something, but really I just dont want him to think I'm obsessing about our wedding (which I totally am).

I thought of another one I do CONSTANTLY.  Do you now look at things you see everyday in a different perspective?  For instance, I work in a government building that has an exterior colors of khaki and brown and the roofs on all of the buildings in the city block are all an aqua misty green color.  All of a sudden I was like, "holy hell my wedding colors are all over the place".  I'm constantly inspired!

THIS! And also, everytime we have date night- we end up talking about wedding things i.e. guest list, decorations, ceremony ideas. What did we talk about before the wedding?!

<div>UGH! I am always snagging things with my ring! </div><div>Plus, we have had a 3 year engagement and so I have been dealing with Co-workers asking me details about the wedding for 3 flipping years!!! Very annoying before when we didn't even have a set date.</div><div>Since we have set the date I have been having people come out of the wood work asking to hang out with us and some even emailing us asking if they are going to be invited or some have just assumed they are invited! I am on a set budget here people with a limited amount of space for guests! I can't invite everyone!!! Do you know how much weddings cost!? (that is what I WANT to scream at them) However, I am nice and just kindly tell them that we have limited seating available and even though we wish we could invite everyone our budget won't allow us to. So, it is going to be mostly close family invited. </div><div>It gets really awkward when they flat out ask if they are invited and i know they aren't and have to tell them.</div><div>One more thing that drives me crazy is the insane amount of phone calls and emails I get from various vendors! If I am interested in your service I will contact you. There is no need to call me 3 times a day!</div>

I'm a snagger too!  Especially in the winter on the lining of my jacket's pockets.  I also snag it on my yarn every time I knit something so I usually have to take it off.  Last year was bad because I still worked on the register so every little old lady would see the ring and say "that's gorgeous, when's the wedding?"  *sigh*

mine right now is everyone assuming once I am married I am going to want another child.
I am still very much up in the air - but everyone seems to think once i am married I am going to all of a sudden be all about getting pregant and having a baby

(my son is 13 - by the time any babies are born he would be a sophomore in high school - and pretty much done college by the time any new baby would be going into kindergarten )

oh and my om getting on me about everything i eat - i am not really on a diet (although i could use one) but she is freaking because we already ordered my dress - that was a million sizes too big - so i am not worried about it not fitting --- had to go bigger bcause my boobs are DDs and wouln't fit in any smaller size -

honestly sometimes i want to tell her that if i gain weight i would save money on alterations

I'm trying to figure out a ceremony location.  We would love to have it in a park, in our area September is usually still nice and warm.  Especially early September.  Only issue of course is weather, and mobility issues for guests (the park we are looking at is very rolly, and all the guests would have to walk down a bit of a bank to get where the ceremony would be) Then there is the issue or renting and setting up chairs, etc...

We can do the ceremony at our reception location, its just a hotel ballroom, but they would set all the chairs and everything up for us, it would be air conditioned, and we wouldn't have to worry about out of town guests being able to find it as they would already be at the hotel!!

Decisions, decisions...
