Making a start...
just had a lovely night in our local pub, and am back at the flat reading wedding porn (i've written that as pron twice now, maybe i should just go with it) and watching the football. well, i couldn't give a monkey's about the football, but it's on.
i am a touch tipsy.
this should hopefully serve as a record of my wedding plans and thoughts. hooray!
topics for future consideration, based on initial observations of the wedding landscape -
- engagement photoshoots - seriously?! to what purpose and wft?! i wish i didn't feel quite so hate-filled when i see them (jealousy that tbj (my hub to be) wouldn't ever go near them? maybe...) but it feels just a bit too much like eeking out what has already been determined as a reasonably self-obsessed occasion...
- original thought - just when you think you have an idea which is all your own and borne from singular inspiration, some git has posted a blog post about their wedding with the exact same thing or superior version of. why has someone else thought of school-playground-triangular-play-paper-thing?!?! i was inspired by Community, and now i am sad that someone had that thought before me. i feel this is something i may have to get used to...
- being trendy - so i got engaged just before xmas. are any/all/some/none of my plans going to be usurped by kate middleton? seems churlish and slightly arrogant that we might even be on the same wedding page, but i don't want to look like a copy cat!
- being a big tit - why am i worried about the above? i'm an older bride (well, 30 seems the right age in london, but i'm aware i have flabby booze-related arms. experience arms. life arms) so shouldn't i be above this nonsense? or should i consider it part of the experience? embrace the bridezilla?
- BEING DULL - that wasn't meant to be in capitals, but seems somewhat apt. i have found it almost impossible to converse about anything apart from my wedding since the proposal. i am simultaneously super excited and annoyed with myself. numpty. but people seem to want to ask me. or does that mean they have nothing else to say to me? who's fault is it?! huh?! answer me!!!!!
- general hilarity from tbj - "who are you getting married to?", "oh, is someone getting married?", "what's that all about then?" - not sounding like and all-consumed arse, yet not wanting to punch your other half - how to manage that? that is a question.
- a church when you're not religious. convincing yourself it's ok (which it is).
ok, that's probably enough to be getting on with. bugger me, if that's less than a month after "we" got engaged (because honestly, it's my show from now on, but the veneer of him giving a toss must be maintained) lord alone knows what hilarity awaits.
hooray for marriage and weddings!!
