Riddle me this. What is time consuming, costly, exciting, but also a get-your-hopes-up and then whacking them with a baseball bat, and an overall pain in my ass?
Wedding Planning.
So sometimes I get blue about the whole wedding thing, not sad that I get to marry my favorite guy, but the whole coming together of it. Somehow I can get over 200 people at work fed and entertained, but when it comes to family and friends *making loud farting noise with my tongue out and a big thumbs down* But I have a lot of help this time around, and we have some amazing ideas. But the thing that gets me is getting the Monkey to look at things, I’ve even asked him in a perfect world how would our wedding go? He says Vegas; it’s a wedding and a vacation all in one. Okay I’m all for Vegas! But I’ve already looked at places that I would be willing to get married at there and tried to show him, and if he’s not in the mood to look at wedding things *making another loud farting noise with tongue and thumbs*, he either doesn’t remember looking or shoots everything down. Okay so his turn I told him if he wants to get married in Vegas he has to look for places I’m done wasting my time. I know that he mostly works, sleeps, mows, but somewhere in there is a little Internet time. And well if he doesn’t look then he doesn’t care about Vegas that much, that’s my thought. I know that money is a big concern for us since getting the house, but I think as long as we get a plan together we’ll make something happen. BUT that is what is easy about the work gig, they give me a date and the cash and I’m good to go, so I completely understand where my Monkey is at. Then Monkey says, but do whatever you want, I know you want your family to be there. Awe he’s so sweet!
Screecheeeech stop. Do not pass go; do not collect 200 dollars, that’s what got us in a mess last time. Leave it all up to me and I resort back to my huge family, which isn’t what we want. We want small, easy, laid back, not 10 million people that we don’t know, and a bunch to mess with. BUT WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK! SIMPLE. FUN. COST EFFECTIVE. I know we are both at the point that we just want it over and done with, we both want to start a family and just go on living life, but I think that we would be missing out on some pretty wonderful memories if we didn’t have a wedding even a small one, I know I would feel that way. I do feel like I’m missing out on something. People that got engaged only a few months ago can somehow pull together a stupid wedding why can’t we? Now it’s just taking a blow to my self-esteem, like I am somehow lesser because I can’t do what normal people do. But then again I’ve never been normal, nor have I ever wanted to be, but hanging on to that line gets pretty tough for me sometimes. So if I can get my Monkey from being bananas, and me from losing my coconut it will all work out and this stress will be a thing of the past that I can look back on and think oh it wasn’t that bad, it was so worth it and so much fun, ha ha. Okay Team Pump up! We are the life the party, we are amazing, funny and odd and we WILL have a KICK ass wedding that we both love and will have fun at! I've said it so now it's true. DONE, NEXT!
