Interesting Wedding-ness

I have to admit, planning a wedding is quite interesting. Not what I imagined it would be, per all the Hollywood buzz and hoopla, but eye-opening, patience testing, and sometimes fun. I also have to admit that I thought most people viewed weddings much like I did, where these people have been an important part of your life so you want to be there to witness this momentous day...I was wrong.

Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that everyone has lives that cannot be put on hold for me and my wedding, but it is interesting to see who can shuffle life around to make it to NC, and who can't. I know some of it is unavoidable...like having a baby two weeks after the wedding, but it kind of makes me sad the lack of effort put in to making it to my big day. Maybe that's just me bitching after attending 13 weddings in 12 months all across the country, but I guess I could have said no to some of them. But I wanted to be there to witness my friends special moments. I guess it simply illuminates the importance of friendships and who's there for you and who isn't. Maybe not entirely, but it is a telling glimpse I think.

Part of it also makes me wonder if I was that guest that people invited thinking I would decline...you know that B list guest that you invited because they were friends with a group of other people. I wonder....but not too much because that's not a very fun thought.

Anyway, all that aside, I am excited to celebrate my big day with my fiance in 46 short days. It doesn't matter what dress I wear, or how many people are there, just that friends and family celebrate with us on this beginning day of the next chapter of our lives together. Gibbs Out.
