Day One - the beginning...
4 years ago, I vowed I would not become a bridezilla. I was the Maid of Honor at my best friend's wedding and she became a bridezilla... since then I have repeatedly vowed not to become one.
Now I'm engaged to be married. I suppose I'm feeling like the last of my friends to go through this. I've been a bridesmaid/maid of honor about fifteen times. I know what I don't want to do.. or become. But I can see how it could be easy to go that route.
Today I called WDW Weddings and gave them my information. I felt like a total dweeb-o. I spoke with a guy and I was just gushing over how this is going to be the best wedding, in the best place, at the best time (see a pattern?!). I'll need to be reining myself in... although that is difficult in the best of times. (Yes I'm overusing best today!)
I've got my budget - 20K from my dad. I know there's about 50 people who will come. (Who wouldn't want to escape from Northern Maine?!). As Oprah would say.. that's what I know for sure! I feel somewhat overwhelmed at this point. I originally wanted a pink princess wedding. (Pink because of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, and myself being very into that cause). Princess because... well... I'm an only child of divorced parents. I hate to say it, but I am a Princess. lol
Now I'm not sure if I want it to be pink. My favorite color is Cobalt Blue. I don't want that to be my wedding color either! Is this a decision that I'm jumping to?
I'll tell you why I'm focusing on color today. I was surfing around the forum last night and I saw some beautiful cakes and ceremonies done with a sea theme. I love the sea. I love to snorkel. I would love to get my scuba license. My bathroom is under the sea, complete with mural. (Cliched I know!). But my dear fiance Rob... well... he can't swim to save his life. He grew up 2 minutes away from the beach on the coast of New Hampshire and never went. He's a meterologist. So what we have here is a failure to coordinate. (Did I steal that from a movie or something?!)
I want this ceremony to reflect both of us. I suppose a pink princess wedding doesn't do that either.
I'm just venting in here for now. It's all good in the end! I know whatever the end result is, it will be magical.
For now I sign off.
Peace Love and GO PATRIOTS! -Meg
