This is Your Life

So, I blogged about all the boring stuff you do 8 months out, and then I dropped out just when things got interesting. I suck, eh?

Now, we're about two months out and things are finally happening! Invitations are assembled and on their way out the door (not without a tiny bit of drama, natch), dresses are in (some fit, some don't), and this is all beginning to feel real. Somewhere along the line, it occurred to me that this is it. For better or worse, this is our engagement and our wedding. Whatever happens, these are the memories we are going to have for the rest of our lives.

This is why I hung my head in shame after I yelled at Groomy about envelopes. Was I yelling AT him? Not really. But when we got our envelopes back from the calligrapher and they looked kind of like they were prepared by a visually-impaired retirement home resident with decreased motor skills, and Groomy dared to imply that no one would notice, I kind of...lost it. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ONE WILL NOTICE? I WILL NOTICE!!!!", I bellowed. Smooth move, there, Bridezilla. Luckily, Groomy knows enough not to take my Incredible Hulk persona seriously. And I apologized profusely.

Not that we all haven't had our share of moments. When I inquired as to the status of some wedding task Groomy should've completed a while back, he icily informed me he was "working" in a condescending tone. My reply, that I had never held a job and certainly couldn't imagine what it's like to be a lawyer, had us giggling afterwards. While I can't say it's a great thing that we let the wedding stress get to us every now and then, I am glad that we are going through it together. I feel like it's a testament to our relationship that we can make it though the tough moments and let them roll off our collective back. It makes the moment we've spent all this time preparing for, that moment we become husband and wife, that much sweeter.
