you're kidding, right?

I’m the sort of person who likes to have all their ducks in a row, to know exactly where they’re going and how they need to get there. I describe it as being organised. Being more of a ‘free spirit’, The Boy would be more likely to describe it as anal.

So, being an organised sort of person, I’ve started to do a bit of research into this whole wedding gig. In the course of that research I’ve looked at a few different weddings websites… Never mind Nightmare on Elm St, some of those wedding sites are the scariest things I’ve seen in my life. And the forums – oh my god! You’d think deciding whether the bridesmaids should match or contrast was a matter of life and death. Or that the world will end if you choose the wrong flowers. It’s all so over the top and somewhat ridiculous.

I know a wedding day is important, as it should be, but why do people go so overboard with it? Whatever happened to small, simple and elegant? Shouldn’t there be some element of fun in the planning? 

I’m really looking forward to marrying The Boy. If my nerves survive the research, that is.
