wedding blues
[Family]
This is the first wedding I have ever planned and the first Jewish wedding I will attend, so one might say I easily get confused and lost.At first, I was planning my wedding, which would be smallish around 100 people in a scenic and quiet space with snacks. Now I am planning Dan and Erin's wedding extravaganza. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at times because we chose a date sooooooooo very close to our initial planning meetings. I have yet to meet our Rabbi, but communication with him puts me at ease time and again. I have a lot of other essential early order things except for bridesmaids dresses, which may end up being made from sheets on Friday November 19th, ha! That made me feel better. They will really be pieced together far sooner than that maybe the 18th.
Key players in this fun time have been our parents. Both Dan's parents and mine have gone out of their way to try and make this day special and uniquely ours. They have been there to console me and counsel me on both party etiquette and nervous breakdown management. I am truly lucky to be this loved.
My MVP, of course, is Dan. I do not think we have had a conversation without me slipping in something about the coming nuptuals (sp?). He has helped me make the hard decisions like is it okay to have the bride leave after the ceremony and hide to picking out our ketubah and helping me shop for fabric for the chuppah. He is my best friend and I love him. YUK!!! I am getting really sappy.
I really feel for all of our friends. I talk almost non-stop about what flowers should I pick and what gifts should the groomsmen get. They also hear me rave about how wonderful and patient Dan is. I think I would hurl if anyone talked the way we do lately. Man, thanks guys, I am sorry, but I don't think I can stop until after the big day, November 20. Just bare with me. No, not naked...what word am I looking for? Who cares. Thanks.
I really just wish it was the twentieth tomorrow and all this worry would simply end. Hmmm...it will be quite a party.
