I have had so much going on lately that I'm surprised I haven't ripped all my damn hair out. My hubby and I are putting together a wedding ceremony since we never had one originally. My father is ill and I may not get the chance to have him walk me down the aisle if I wait any longer. I'm trying to do this thing on a budget, because we have been trying to buy a house as well. I'm doing a lot of my own stuff...like my bouquet. I found a beautiful dress for $226.00 bucks which is a STEAL compared to the retail price. But these past few days have been hell on me. I won't have very many guests coming as most of our family and friends live in Michigan and Maine, so to me it feels a bit pointless, although having my dad walk me down the aisle is the most important thing over all.
Another thing I have been bitchy about are rings. I have such a strange shaped engagement ring that we never were able to find a wedding band or ring guard that would fit it, and now we are looking at getting an entire new set....I've picked my ring out already, but it wasn't originally planned in the budget. I have managed a way to keep this entire wedding planning stuff on a budget of just $3,000.00 dollars, and so far I am right under that amount, but that means I have A LOT of work to do and a lot of crafts that I have to do to make everything that is to expensive to buy.
Going to the court house and having the Justice of the Peace do it was SOOOO much easier and less complicated, especially since I am such a simple woman. I feel a lot of pressure both financially and emotionally to get all this done by October 20th of this year. I have 4 months to get it all done. Reserving hotels for out of town guests, cooking all the food for the reception, and so forth. I'm not looking for a pity party lol I just don't have anyone to vent to. I don't want to make this anymore stressful on my hubby so I don't really bitch to him, and all my other friends and family have had weddings, but they had a lot of people financially contributing to it as well, so they don't really understand. I'm trying to NOT become a bridezilla as I'm not like that, but this stress, and feelings of being incredibly overwhelmed might win me over eventually. Had I known we were going to do a ceremony down the road, I would have had this all planned out a year or more ahead of time, but here I am, last minute wedding planner. No time to go out, no time to relax, no time to sleep....I am REALLY REALLY looking forward to this Amana Meet on Saturday lol I will definitely be having me a beer or 5!
Okay, I'm done ranting now. I'm sory I had to come here, a place full of raging testosterone, who could probably careless about weddings lmfao, but I needed to do it some where. Facebook has a character limit that I keep going over when I try to vent. So I just came here! Thanks for listening.

I wish u luck in your planning and whatever happens you'll still be with your better half.
due to the regulations of the chapel. Reception food will be made by me, decorations, center pieces made by me.....I just feel like I'm WAY in over my head. I HOPE to God that the house will fall through before October, because then...I won't really need to reserve hotels, but at the same time, if more people from out of state show up than I plan...I'm going to be in trouble lol.
