I have a confession to make: I had my most bridezilla moment (at least to date… knock on wood!). I suppose it’s good to have gotten it out of the way, but nonetheless, there was a bit of a debacle last weekend…

It all started out very innocently. Mr. Peppermint and I were gocco-ing our Thank You cards. We agreed we wanted to get that out of the way so we’d be ready to fill them out in time. We had talked about a design and settled on what we wanted. Since Palm Springs (and the surrounding areas) is so special to us and he proposed in Joshua Tree National Park, we decided that we’d like a simple drawing of a Joshua Tree on the front. Inside we planned on text that would read “Thank You” in the top left, and “Mr. & Mrs. Peppermint” in the bottom right. Easy. We spent Friday night and Saturday morning making them and were really happy with the results.

Here is our view of Joshua Tree National Forrest:

So, after feeling triumphant and laying them across our floor to dry, we decided to go off and complete some wedding errands. Before leaving I had the thought that our darling little roomba may go off while we’re gone (he’s scheduled to go off at 3pm daily). I alerted Mr. Peppermint to my fears and he pressed a few buttons and assured me that it was safe.

Yes, dear reader, you guessed it. Miss Peppermint’s intuition was right. When I arrived home (fortunately for his sake, Mr. P did not enter when I did), I saw the cards everywhere. Some bent. Some with “roomba tracks”. And yes, I cried. Fortunately after some tears and mild hysterics (okay, I lost it), I got Mr. Peppermint to come and assess the damages. He divided them into a stacks based on their state. About three quarters of them are fine (and that might be enough to last us), and then the rest vary from questionable to unusable. All in all, we will be fine… but, man, I guess a woman’s intuition is always right.

What has your most bridezilla moment been?? Come on, ladies, fess up!
