invitations

Assembling the invitations is the only thing that has required much work, throughout this process, so far. I have also been enjoying spending time with my friends, while we work on the invitations together. I love the finished product. They look like little boxes of chocolate. This is going to be an effortless and wonderful experience that leads up to a beautiful day.

Other than the invitations, which will be mailed out on the 1st of April, I have nothing to do. Is it normal for a bride to be bored, waiting for the big day to approach? I'm not complaining. I mean, this gives me time to sneak up to Merrillville and spend some much needed quality time with my fiance. We're supposed to start decorating our new apartment next week. That will be loads of fun. I love doing things with him.

This entire wedding planning process reminds me of our relationship. Our relationship started out so effortless, and that is exactly the case for the planning. We had a couple of snags, where we needed to learn how to communicate better, but it's been smooth sailing since then. There were a couple of small snags with the wedding, but they were taken care of quickly and we're back on track.

I am wondering how my family is going to react to the fact that my reception will be for adults only. They all have several children, and are under the impression that they will be accompanying them to my wedding ceremony and reception, because that's how it's always been with weddings and my family. This just may cause them to decline my invitation, because they may not have a babysitter.

I've been told not to worry about it, and while I don't, I can't help but wonder how things will turn out. I just feel that I shouldn't have to accomodate so many children, when I don't have children and the majority of my friends don't have children either. Besides, I want this to be an elegant and sexy event, and children don't fit into that vision. Don't get me wrong; I love children. I plan to have my own family some day.
