Why does it seem like whenever I cross something off our “To-Do” list, 10 other things pop up in its place? Why can’t I seem to accomplish anything during the week? Why are there so many decisions to be made? Why can’t Sparks pick a suit?* Why?

WHYYYY???

If you couldn’t tell, that was me… freaking out. And it seems to be happening a lot lately. In place of wedding nightmares, I’ve been having full on, daytime freak outs. It’s lots of fun, let me tell you.

Here’s what I think the problem is:

Sparks and I are at the point in our planning where we’ve made a lot of decisions and we’ve written a lot of checks (eek), but we still haven’t really seen the end result. Yes, we’ve TALKED about the flowers and seen the separate stems… but we won’t see a sample arrangement until June. We’ve TALKED about the exact food we’ll serve and the specialty cocktails we want, but our menu tasting isn’t until July. All I have are crippling thoughts of “What if it isn’t right??? What if they didn’t understand my vision??? Will there be time to fix it???”

Sigh. It’s all very, “hurry up and wait.”

I’m also feeling a little bummed because I’m making most of the big decisions on my own. My mom, sisters, and best friends are all on the East Coast. And it turns out that planning a big wedding in a big city, all by yourself, isn’t really that fun. Don’t get me wrong… I’m still enjoying the planning process A LOT! I just get a little down when I can’t drag my sister to a meeting or try on shoes with my bridesmaids.

Is anyone else stuck here in the planning process? Am I the only one who has “daytime nightmares”?

*Oh yeah, that’s right. Sparks STILL hasn’t picked a suit for the wedding! I’m calling him out in hopes of giving him a little kick in the butt.
