People are like, "OMG! So exciting! Have you picked out your linen rental service yet?"

And I say, "You're supposed to do that?"

Especially with what just happened in Maine, I can't summon the energy to care about flower arrangements.

Anyway, I figured if I could find anywhere on the internet some women who would say, "Don't be silly. I didn't care about my wedding, either," without saying, "CLEARLY YOU DO NOT LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HEEEEEEEEEM."

Because I do not think you can spend a Saturday night baking with a man if you do not love him.

Linen rental service?

Also, have you picked a dove wrangler yet? 'Cause I know a guy and you know these days it's not a wedding if you don't have a flock of doves.

In fact, I don't think you can be the kind of person who would be happy to go to a JOP after work some day and have a wedding anyway because your man really wants one and not love a man so THERE.

@bustie: I did find an egg-white sculptor for real cheap!

Oh good.
Everyone who is anyone has life-size meringue replicas of themselves at the wedding.

You're getting married?!

Now I've got the song from Muppets Take Manhattan where Kermit and Piggy get married in a play stuck in my head.

Not that I think you guys are googly-eyed felt puppets or anything.

By the way, you need to think about starting to audition puppeteers.

You have to have the puppet show at the reception.

Hey, it's YOUR wedding. Depending on how fancy you want it, you can stress or not stress about it. The point is what happens after the party anyway.

WAIT YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?

I know we've discussed how important to your family it is that your wedding be somewhat "fancy" and "traditional," but I see no reason to fret. (When is the wedding again? Soon? Or a year from soon?) Sit down, make a list of what's important to you, get it done. I know you know this, so you're set!

we'll just have it be a BYO-Everything. Bring your own drinks, Bring your own chair, bring your own food, bring your own centerpieces, bring your own string quartet...

@Salomea & TWIBY: 'Fraid so. After next June I will be a boring old matron with a motherly air about her and steel grey hair.

I did not know this either! Congrats!

You should talk to Nikki. Despite the craziness that was our wedding, she never turned into Bridezilla. And she was just as shocked as you at all the little things you're expected to think about.

@Dave: Did YOU turn into Bridezilla? I bet you did. I'm going to ask her.

@erica: thank you! I am very excited, too.

BYOB - bring your own bride.

Sometimes just going to City Hall sounds very nice and simple. Then again, so does being a COMPLETE PRINCESS HELL YEAH.
