I'm going to be honest. Wedding planning isn't as stressful as I thought it would be. Not to say that it isn't stressful, because it most certainly is. But it just seems that my life is so stressful anyway (working a basically full-time job at almost minimum wage with no benefits, and hours of class with professors who like to imagine that their students have no jobs, lives, or any other responsibilities) that maybe I'm just used to it. How sad is that?
Also, I cheated. I hired (er, my parents hired) an event planning company to do a lot of the work. It's not as expensive as you would think and it takes a lot of pressure off. With my crazy, stressed out life I should already probably be on Xanax for my nerves, but if I had to be responsible for the food, flowers, and decorations in addition to everything else, and being away in England for eleven weeks? I'd be a sight to behold and fear.
The absolute worst part of wedding planning thus far has been assembling invitations. It took me, my mom, and very helpful bridesmaids over a week to get them done. And then, after all that work and hundreds of dollars on stamps, some people still don't have the courtesy to send in the free RSVP. It makes me extremely irritated to know that people can't take a simple card, write their name on it, and mark "yes" or "no" and then stick in the mailbox and put up the red flag. Yes, folks, that's how easy it is to send an RSVP. Some people don't include stamps on theirs, but I did.
