A big fat "thank you" to the women of TK

So one would think that a website devoted to weddings would be the mecca of special snowflakes where every detail of everything is SOOO important. But you guys have taught me that nothing besides becoming husband/ wife matters. When I started my planning, I was similar mindset to many- dress has to be perfect, bridal party has to be perfect, decorations, food, entertainment- it all has to be "perfect". Not that I was a bridezilla in any way, I just wanted everything to go smoothly. I'm now 3 months away from the wedding and I can honestly say that I don't give a shit anymore. I don't care how many million things go wrong- I just want to be married to him! People ask me how the planning is going or if I'm excited and I just say eh whatever, don't care. And they look at me like I'm nuts.

Like I was thinking about it and why is it such a big deal?! I think people who have kids would likely tell you the day the child was born was the best day of their life. But you don't have a professional photographer in the hospital room, you don't have your hair & makeup done with trials leading up to it and a bedazzled johhny, you don't have your friends make you crafts for the hospital room. Nothing about giving birth is "perfect" yet it's the best day of people's lives. So I'm excited about the wedding of course but I am so grounded to it just being another great day and not the "biggest, most special day ever". I can't say with confidence that I would have come to that point without reading all your posts, so thanks!! :)

  • I agree with this post 1000% Except I didn't really care to begin with, I just thought I had to care and I'm glad I don't and have people who don't think I'm crazy when I roll my eyes when my aunt says "Who cares if Jamie's girlfriend gets an invite, less people means better dress. It is your day" *eye roll*

  • I agree. When I began planning our wedding a few years ago and stumbled on here I wouldn't say I was obsessed with the idea of the stereo-typically perfect princess wedding, but I was fairly ignorant in terms of the finer points of etiquette. I learned a lot, even when I was just lurking initially.

  • Just like it life, Don't sweat the small stuff. It will still be an awesome day






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
