Things are getting done...with only the occassional outburst

Wedding plans are coming along really well.
We knocked a lot off the list this weekend, including: ceremony music, house music, wedding day assignments and scheduling, and lots of other minute details not worth typing out.

We've been trying to have fun as well so as not to get totally wrapped up and stressed out with wedding planning. On Thursday night we went out for Thai with some friends and to say goodbye to our good friend, Julie, who is leaving for Boston this coming Friday. On Friday we ate BBQ at our friend Vicki's house and on Saturday ate BBQ at our friend Julie's house (another Julie). You can never have too much BBQ!

It was also on Saturday night at Julie's house that we saw our friends Steff and Nelson who just got married a few weeks ago. They looked so relieved and relaxed. I wish that was us, but they were just in our shoes 6 weeks ago, so I guess everyone who doesn't elope goes through it. To some extent, it is a gratifying experience because we're throwing a party on the biggest day of our lives.

Steff asked me how everything was going and I immediately burst into tears. I guess I've been storing up my stress as is my usual way of dealing an overwhelming amount of activity. I was quite embarassed, ran to the bathroom, while Bryan asked, "Steff, are you on that?" Apparently, I was not the most pleasant person that day. After a few moments of venting and eating, I was better. Planning a wedding is hard work and it's tough to just have fun. We are blessed to have lots of family and friends (like Steff and Nelson) that are willing to pitch in, help us move, help us plan, and make sure our upcoming wedding is lots of fun despite any little details we may forget to take care of. Afterall, I don't think anyone will care if we don't tie a bow on the party favors.
