And now the five things I thought I’d enjoy but didn’t (so far).

1.) Choosing a wedding band. I never realized I was so freakin’ indecisive. I want a plain band. I want milgrain. I want diamonds. Honestly? I want to stop thinking about it. Right now I’m just going to get a plain band- perhaps with milgraining. CRAP! There I go again. Maaaan.

2.) Picking out my jewelry. You know there are a ton of two, maybe three dress brides? Well, I’m a four necklace, two bracelet, and 6 earring bride. I really need to get a hold of this indecision, I’m starting to see a theme here, and it ain’t “fall splendor”!

3.) Picking out a ring pillow. Yeah, I thought and thought about it, imagining all the beautiful pillows our ring bearer would carry down the aisle. Then I was hit with the realization that he is four. And will most likely not give a crap about the pillow he holds. Mr. Kiwi doesn’t care. My mom doesn’t care. And what the heck, apparently neither do I! I truly surprised myself when I ordered a ring pillow from Oriental Trading. It has lace on it. Nothing else in my wedding has lace on it. Do I care? Not one bit.

4.) Actually choosing invitations. See, I have a few designs I like, but really don’t care to order them. I’d rather just email everyone with the news of a wedding coming up. All the stuffing and addressing and licking… Oh my.

5.) Undergarments. All my life I’ve loved undies. From my first pair of “My Little Pony” underroos, to my lacy thong collection I snared Mr. Kiwi with, I’ve loved them. Unfortunately, I am now a Hanes Her Way gal. And having to go out and find a longline bra that fits, doesn’t disable my poor asthmatic lungs, and doesn’t have straps, makes me cringe. And for the tush covers? Eh.. I’m finding some XXL kids underrroos and there ya have it.

So, you really do shock yourself, don’t you? What things did you shock yourself with?
