I always have been. Even in high school I rarely, if ever, had drama. I've always been told I'm very level headed and low maintenence.
Josh is very laid-back too.
And now we're wedding planning.
After the initial excitement of being engaged, I was sort of terrified. I thought SURELY this will be something that will bring out the opposite characteristics in us, especially knowing how stressful it all can be.
Oh, and we are trying to buy a house. And I'm training for a marathon. And it's almost summer. And josh works a lot of overtime and softballs a lot.
But nope. If anything, we've maybe been TOO laid back with everything (Doesn't mean I'm not personally stressed at times, more on that later). This translated into us having chosen a date, venue, photographer, cake/cupcake maker, DJ, bridesmaid dresses, and wedding colors less than a week after engagement. It has resulted in probably 75% or more of our wedding being planned (besides the logistical details) as of today, just over a month into engagement. And we actually feel like we are taking our time!
I almost said yes to the dress within the first hour of the very first place I looked..but that was when I had my only bridezilla-ish moment so far: I was about to buy the dress, so the moms and grandma started snapping pictures. I saw one of the pictures and HATED how the dress looked in it. The lady was already writing up my paperwork. They kept snapping pictures. I suddenly hated the dress. Still more pictures. Get me out of this dress!!! Bridal staff was surrounding me, trying to adjust the dress to look better. Made it worse. More pictures. SERIOUSLY. Get me out of here!!!!!!
I literally almost had a panic attack.
I actually might have.
Then I had lunch.
And Kirsten was back to normal.
Found "The Dress" at the next shop :)
Side note: It's probably just me, but are veils creepy to anyone else!? I'm not sure if some bridal horror movie scarred me for life, or some recurring childhood nightmare, (and actually, I do think they're pretty on OTHER brides!) but the thought of personally wearing one on my head is just creepy. So that is one thing I adamantly refuse to wear on my wedding day. Not that they're ugly or anything, just...I don't know.
But seriously, gives me chills.
Okay so anyway, besides the dress, we have made quick, easy decisions on most of the planning. Shop around a bit--Do we like it? Can we afford it? Yes? Then book it. Order it. Plan it. Done.
Next!
I know myself and know I get easily stressed out with too many options, because I'm really not that picky, and so I know I'd be happy with any of them! So how do I choose?
Quickly. That's how.
Once a decision is made, I'm just giddy. One step closer to the day I get to marry Josh!
And be done with wedding planning! ;)
So really. At this rate our entire wedding will be planned by the end of the month, and the wedding isn't until October! What will we do for the rest of our engagement!?
Enjoy it!!!!!
