This isn’t a “I want this” post, but just a regular blog post with words and letters and things. Probably ellipses because I love those.

I’ve been obsessively reading through wedding blogs in the last few weeks because my mom keeps insisting I make decisions and I realized something. The number of things I care about in my wedding can be counted on my fingers.

. the dress (check!)

. my accessories

. the photographer (check!) and bridal photos

. the cake

. the location

. food

. the color scheme/style (DO I WANT DECO OR NOUVEAU?!)

. invitations

. figuring out polite ways to tell people I just want money and that I’m hyphenating like the sometimes-feminist I am.

Everything else, I’m, like, meh. I don’t care what fabric the chair covers are made of as long as they’re black.

another problem I seem to be having is that I can’t make a decision on what I DO want, just what I don’t. I’m very good at saying “eew I hate that!” but I’m very, very indecisive. I’ve spent hours contemplating the hairpiece I’ll be wearing in my bridal photos (because it’s a combination of my clothes/accessories, the style of the wedding and my photographer, all things I obsess over). Or maybe it’s because I find too many things that I do like. Brandon is very lucky that I’m not a big Internet shopper because we’d go broke after three days on Etsy.
I’m spending a lot of time being worried that my interests are going over the “unique” and “interesting” line into tacky and unattractive. Do I want a really feathery fascinator? Do I want a headband instead of a fascinator? WHAT DO I WANT? I DON’T KNOW! and it’s driving me CRAZY. but fun crazy.

At any rate, I’m very glad to have my mom around to care about everything else and worry about chairs and decorations because otherwise, we’d have cake, a dress and nothing else. but at least I’d look nice.

And as for DIY, I know it’s cheaper, but I really have no interest in doing anything myself. But apparently I have crafty friends and family members who have lots of fun cutting and folding dozens of invitations and whatever else needs to be DIY’d.
Brandon and I are so lazy and DI-someoneelse that we’re going to have mad libs and pictures for our thank you notes. and typed things. lots of typing. ugh. though it isn’t just laziness. I also have a really short attention span and would get bored and distracted after a dozen thank yous. And I think Emily Post or Dear Abby say my thank you notes need to be out by a certain time.

at any rate, I’m tired and wedding blog’d out for at least a few days.
