Ever tried to plan a wedding in 65 days or less? Ha, me either, yet here I am trying my best and already going out of my mind.
Did I mention I've been engaged for 13 days?
Rather puts all my complaints in perspective, you see. Originally, I wanted an out-doors wedding, one at a local waterfall--that feel through. Then I begged my fiance to fall back on his original plan, the one I begged my way out of--just go to the courthouse and do it. Alas, I suppose my original argument was so good that now he's convinced that I want a wedding and is pressing the issue more than ever. Hurray. Don't get me wrong, a wedding would be nice, but honestly, getting out of this house (my parents' house), away from my crap job (only pays $9.55/hour), and getting started with my life would be much nicer. Unfortunately, I don't think he believes me, and I know his intentions have my best interests at heart but...nonetheless...I've dug myself into quite the hole, and now I've got to figure out a way to decorate it and make it work.

Anyways, this blog's purpose is to vent my frustrations to a world who (for the most part) couldn't care less, find some sympathetic readers who might provide some advice for my worries, and allow myself a way to organize and develop thoughts, plans, and...sanity? Perhaps preserving sanity makes a bit more sense in this case but regardless...let's carry on.
Currently, our plans, as of last night, are to have the wedding at my church. Which seats 800 people. Ha...it'll look funny, but at this point, whatever. Our guest list is ghastly--currently at 93, not including whoever decides to come for church. My fiance can't seem to agree with me on invitations, which really should have been sent out months ago (even though we weren't engaged months ago), and most of the invitations we've found that we like are around $250-$300 bucks for about 100. Did I mention the budget for this wedding is incredibly tight? Both of our families are not blessed with a ton of money, and I only have about a$200 in savings--maybe. I've started a homely little jar that will serve as a "piggy bank" for the money I'll be able to contribute to the wedding, which obviously won't be much if I only make 9 bucks an hour or there about. And the more I plan with my fiance, the bigger and bigger and more expensive this wedding is getting. So as soon as I finish this post, I plan on going and looking up prices for all the things he mentioned last night that he wanted, add them up, and serve him up a good helping of reality. Just hope he doesn't vomit it up.
