Okay, this weekend was supposed to be super wedding weekend! Taking pictures of myself in my veil/tiara, taking pictures of the pearls I just got to match said tiara, and calling some florists and officiants.

What did I do instead? Ummm… Wore my ebay veil around the house, ate spaghetti, played Princess Peach (seriously had it since Christmas and STILL haven’t beaten it), did one whopping load of laundry and ate two birthday cakes. Okay, not whole cakes, but we were forced to take them home, so I probably will end up eating two. Oh, and I managed to leave my placecards at my aunt’s house, and made a stupid promise I’d get my license by summer. What have I done?

We have yet to book our officiant, or even interview them. I spoke with one on the phone and he seemed overly excited to do our wedding. Acting like a teenager again, I took this exaggerated excitement as something bad. Why is that like a teenager? Because I was a stupid girl who thought anyone who showed any decent affection was obviously wrong for me. And now I’m marrying one of those guys, interesting.

Anyway, I digress. We need to find a florist, but instead I sent flower girl dress links to Karen, our flowergirl’s mum. When she responded by saying Summer may be a better time to look, I realized I wasn’t putting the priorities first. Yeah, it is likely my three and a half year old cousin will grow more between now and November than she will from September to November. It really does make more sense when you think of it that way.

So, I think I’m trying to do the things that are a little more fun, and a little less panic-inducing right now. Sure, it’s not very smart to put off these things. In fact, I had a nightmare that I was in my dress, waiting to be married when the officiant didn’t show up. Because I DIDN’T FIND ONE. How is that not a sign to get going?

Are you trying to substitute the fun things (dresses, shoes, veils) for things that aren’t as fun (interviewing, making spread sheets, guest lists) in your wedding?
