Sigh . . .my writing life is on hold. That's not the way I want it to be. Now that my day job has started up again, my days are eaten away. The evenings are dominated by the wedding.
I did originally suggest to my fiance that we elope and get married in this great old castle in Scotland. I'm wishing we did that. Every day we have one to five glitches with the wedding. Today my seamstress canceled my dress fitting for the third time in four weeks and the replacement batch of bubbles came half-evaporated like the last batch.
Of course, at least this isn't as bad as two weeks ago. The day was my first one back to full day working and on that day my matron of honor resigned her post via a note in the mail, an ex-boyfriend e-mailed, and my wedding band was screwed up three ways by the jeweler. Since then utter chaos has surrounded the wedding. I'm not sure if I will replace my matron. I'm thinking I just may go with my two bridesmaids and be done with it. It's not like my matron helped me with a single thing. She resigned because she didn't know she had to come to a rehearsal. Ugh. She's married and been a matron before. You would think she would know this.
I won't even get into the catering and baker issues. That is an epic in itself.
My fiance said the other night that wedding planning is made so hard because it tests the relationship. I guess, but some of what is going on is beyond what I think should be happening.
Wish me luck for the next coming weeks of planning please.
