Ugh. My future sister-in-law M said this best. "Theknot.com's to-do list makes you feel inadequate as a bride."
No I'm not hiring a calligrapher.. Stop reminding me too. Why in the hell would I? Am I supposed to? Is that something I need to have to make this wedding a "true" wedding? And then the OMG snowball of what else am I not doing, doing wrong or forgetting careens down the hill and splats into the wall of "ACKK! I suck as a bride" meltdown mode.
My anal retentive side wants me to check off all the little to-dos they have posted up there. Why? Because I cannot have things to do glaring at me. Thanks Mom, (I blame you for this anal retentiveness, but I love you).
Why would I need to have all these things? I wish they had an option to hide or click "Not Applicable, Stop making me hyperventilate over these things I haven't accomplished, aren’t using or don’t want." I cannot check them off even though I'm not doing them, because that would be lying.
I mean seriously, are all these things needed to make every wedding a real wedding? Does it not really count unless you check all 708 to dos? Will someone materialize saying “I’m sorry S and R your wedding doesn’t qualify.. please return to start and try again.” Yes, I know "Of course not, you crazy bridezilla." But then why do I care about checking off a little box.
Okay, I’m being a bit over-dramatic; I do know, I’m just annoyed.
I'm just ready for this wedding week to start. That is really all it is. I'm stuck at work and then I come home and try to cross things of my own personal to do list, find out people may or may not show up... I'm just antsy.. I have ants in my pants kicking my butt to make time go faster... Where, oh where is Superman to make the world spin faster and then slow it way down on the day of the wedding?
If someone could help me contact good old C. Kent, that'd be peachy. Anyone?
