My man and I met at a summer camp and have been inseperable ever since. He proposed in August of 06 and we are to be married in August of 08. I'm attempting to do this on a low budget in the most laid back way possible, but only time will tell how it really ends up.

Crappy weather, crappy mood

Posted Tuesday, January 08, 2008 8:12 PM

Well... I spent all day yesterday creating a spreadsheet of caterers (shh... don't tell my boss...)  I e-mailed it to my mom, who expressed on Saturday her opinion that I should indeed have the wedding catered (still not sure it's in the budget).  My mom e-mail's back "wow, looks like you did a lot of work."  Yeah, thanks for your input mom.  Why is it that all you want to do is talk about [read: give your input] my wedding until it actually comes down to the possibility that you might have to pay for something or freaking help me decide anything.  The fiance wasn't much help here either.  I said, "I'm going to e-mail you the catering spreadsheet too"  "please don't"...  My MOH told me if I needed help to let her know, but what she wants is to make the food for the wedding (not that she has any experience, just desire) and I feel like I take advantage of her all the time, so I don't want to burden her with this decision.  Well, hell, I guess this is just my wedding.

In fact, I'm not even sure this is my wedding.  I don't like weddings, I'm sure I've said that before.  And here I am several months in with a designer dress (that will need freaking expensive alterations that I don't even want to think about yet), a guest list of almost 200, and a spreadsheet of caterers.  Some how I feel like I cheated myself by not getting a used dress. This isn't the wedding I wanted, I wanted cheap and easy.  At least the recepition location and amphitheater together for the day only cost $105.  There's cheap and easy for you.

And what if it rains?  "Bring an umbrella" will have to be on the invites, but what if it pours, utterly pours, I have no plan for that (you can always insert a "yet" here, but I have a big enough to do list as is.)

 Ugh, I guess I'm just not in the wedding mood today.  And it's crappy weather.  Yesterday we had thunderstorms and tornados (yeah in Wisconsin in January).  It's still raining today.  I better stop typing before I say some things I regret in the future.

re: Crappy weather, crappy mood

Please don't let you MOH do the food!  She will be so busy the day-of helping you get ready, getting ready herself, helping with last-minutes things, that she will have no time to prepare, cook, or transport the food!  Plus, she will not enjoy the reception because she will be so worried about the food.  Food is such a huge concern that is really should be left to the professionals.  Especially with a guest list your size.

And you can always re-sell your dress after the wedding, try to recoup some money.  Sounds like you got bitten by the "It's my day" bug!  It happens to all of us!
