Wedding Blog

We are 32 days away from our wedding. We have not sent out invitations yet. These two factors combined have created a chemical reaction in me known as:

Symptoms may include an uncontrollable desire to whine and complain, tension headaches, stress eating, and a poopy attitude about life in general. It is diagnosed by checking a person’s to-do list (in this case, the bride’s) and analyzing the number of overdue items. The more overdue items present on the list will increase the severity of Stressarrhea. If you suffer from this condition, don’t lose hope!

Treatment involves spending less time browsing wedding eye candy in the blog world, and spending more time tackling items on the aforementioned to-do list.

My treatment involves liberal doses of attempting to cut back on blog browsing. It also involves a bridal shower invitation.

The ladies in my hometown, specifically my mom’s group of best friends, are throwing me a bridal shower! Erm, I guess I should say, a Bridal Movie Shower.
Today I was running around the house half dressed, complaining about being called in to work on my day off, when my mom pointed out that there was a message written on the back of the ticket in my invitation. I stood in my room in my underwear and cried a little tear of joy when I read it.

Even though I know it should be one of the last things that we should be worrying about, gifts actually sit towards the top of our list. We are getting married in Washington, but will be living in Texas, and we have no plans to ever drive directly between Washington and Texas shortly after the wedding. Or ever, for that matter. I have been to enough weddings in my area to know that in my hometown, we are not cash and gift card people. People love to give tangible gifts, but as the poem indicates, moving all of those items would be really hard for us. It meant a lot to me that these ladies took our move into consideration, and helped us to spread the word to just a few more people.

I am still showing symptoms of Stressarrhea. This cute little card lightened the load considerably though. The wedding invitations still won’t be in the mail tomorrow, but I’m feeling at peace with that fact right now. All I can do is get up and tackle the items on our to-do list one day at a time.

What have you found to be the best treatment for your Stressarrhea?
