It's been a wierd week for me. Of course, Valentine's day was completely flawless, but the rest of the week has taken a different direction. There's been so much tension in my family over the wedding and it has been a learning experience for me. Even though I know I will never marry again, if I ever do, I think I'm just going to let everyone else plan my wedding. Because no matter what we (Matt and myself) want, I've made others unhappy. I'm sorry, I didn't know a wedding was supposed to be about everyone else except the bride and groom. Excuse me for thinking that. I'm serious. This is the biggest mess. And the thing is, we are going away to get married because it's what we want. We invited any and everyone to come along way back in September and I'm sorry if that wasn't long enough in advance to plan or save. I do want to get married and have a child before I turn 35. Not to mention, I had no idea Matt was about to propose. I really thought he was going to wait until December or January. I'm happy with our decision to have a destination and after having a long conversation with a very close family member, she assured me if people really wanted to be there, they would do whatever it took to be there. She also said my guest list speaks volumes as far as who will be there and who won't. I hate to think that, because I've been having such a difficult time with it, but she's right. I just have to go on and enjoy the countdown until my "weddingmoon" which will be in 107 days. Not everyone can be happy so why try? It's about 2 people, Matt and Mandy. And Ashley. She is excited. We still need to get her a dress...... Mom and I are going to do that sometime soon.
I've also been Jason with his website he's building. That's kept me busy too. Now that I've returned everything he asked me to do, he wants to take Matt and I out to dinner tonight as repayment. Why does Matt get to have his food paid for? He didn't do the work. Actually Matt said we would pay for the drinks..... I don't know why though. Drinks cost more than the actual meal. We're going to Pappasitos. At least I have something to look forward to this evening. Ashley has 2 basketball games tomorrow. After that, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll update on Monday. I have to work on Sunday, so nothing new about that. Maybe I'll have a good work story to write about. I haven't had one of those in a couple of weeks.
Bravo! Put it out there so everyone knows how you feel. This is YOUR wedding, YOUR special day, YOUR future. Do what YOU and MATT want and let everyone else whine about it if they want to.
We're adults now, Mandy. We all have our own lives to live. It's hard when you feel like your family isn't as excited about something in your life as you are. Especially something as big as this. Having said that, this is out of your control. Do what makes you and Matt happy and to hell with everything else.
PS ~ That's kinda been my motto for a while. It works for me.
