Wedding Bliss
We've been engaged now for over a year and the wedding is finally going to happen in August. I can't believe that it's only a couple of months away. When I first started planning, I figured I wouldn't be too stressed since it's a destination wedding. I mean, I have coordinators up the wazoo helping me out so why stress, right? Wrong. As the weeks and months passed, I realized why all brides turn into crazy wound up b*tches until the wedding day has come and gone. Not only am I constantly thinking about what needs to get done during the day, it keeps me up at night too. It doesn't help that I just had to call one coordinator to tell her that another one that she assigned to me is completely incompetent. There's nothing like an unsatisfied customer to light a fire under them and get them to finally start paying attention to me. I mean, how hard is it to get me a few answers? This woman literally took months to get me one answer. I wasn't going to bombard her with my myriad of questions all at the same time if getting one answer was so difficult for her. Thank goodness someone else is taking over for her to help me with my planning. I wasn't even told that I needed to submit an application for intended marriage until I called to complain. What if I never called? I'd get to Bermuda ready to get married and then be told that we didn't file the right paperwork? Oh, the mess that could've caused!
On a more positive note, I finally lost the few pounds necessary to fit my wedding gown. I just have to make sure not to gain anything between now and the wedding day, which will be difficult considering we'll be on a cruise for a few days before the wedding. Cruise= unlimited food=fat bride. I must practice self-control, yikes. I put on my gown, shoes, and veil for the first time and felt like I was playing dress-up in mommy's closet. I also went and picked out the fabric for my chang saam. My first one will be red and the second will be an orange-gold color. I wasn't looking forward to wearing them considering they're completely unforgiving on a woman's excess baggage, but now that i've seen the beautiful fabrics, I'm excited. I'll just have to make sure to tone up the saggy areas before the banquet in September.
Now if I could only get my invitations finally printed. That's another headache altogether. I need this wedding to be over!!
