Shalom Existence

I am not a gangsta. I could never be. I do not have the cool swagger or the smooth vernacular. Sigh. What I can be is grateful though. I just want to say I know now that weddings are stressful, but if I told you how many amazing people were chipping in on this thing, you might fall off your chair. I am not what you would call extra frugal, I like to buy what I need and ocassionally small nice things. But lately, man, I have been learning more about this world and I just can’t do it (waste money). Like JC says, when we die, ain’t none of our possessions going with us (slight paraphrasing of course). So, Andy and I are doing this wedding on a wee budget. As to not totally destroy the trees, we did splurge on recycled invitations and had people RSVP by internet, the rest is DIY. Which I never ever knew meant do it yourself before I became a bride to be and perused upon one too many wedding websites!

I mean, whoah, are you really supposed to remember to wear all that stuff on your body? And who decided a diagram should be made?! Okay, DIY…moving on. So, this week I have arranged our centerpieces which use dry materials and a bit of sparkle. Then I realize like a month ago I was supposed to send out rehearsal dinner invites. Oops. Which my mom is cooking for and she said there will be like 15 people there. I counted today. It’s 28. Oops again. Who thinks of all these things months in advance??? Not I. Any advice for the next two weeks? Come on! I only have 16 days to go! I am sure there is something I am forgetting. But you know what? I am okay with that. This is one woman who is looking forward to the marriage, not the wedding.  :)
