Ok, before I start I
would like to mention that Keith and I have SO MANY GREAT FRIENDS that are
genuinely excited to be celebrating our wedding with us. This post is more so intended to poke
fun and laugh at the inevitable when it comes to planning a wedding. If you don’t, you’ll just cry! I find it’s best to just laugh it off! In all honestly, I am beyond excited for
the wedding and so grateful to so many for making this a wonderful engagement year for us.
If you’re easily offended, just stop
reading. I’m really not in the
mood to see people’s spiteful comments.
FYI, it’s my blog “Life Through My Eyes” so I can say what I want and I
say it like I see it.
ANYWAYS!!!!
Everyone always says that planning a wedding is stressful. Two months ago, Really?! Why?! I have been having so much fun with the planning all
year. My sisters, family, friends,
vendors and even my in-laws have been so supportive and amazing! We have been so
organized and everything seems to be smooth sailing. I couldn’t possibly imagine anything going wrong.

Well, then we hit a
month to go! Time to track
down the 35% that felt 2 months wasn’t an ample amount of time to put an “X” on
“ACCEPTS” or “REGRETS,” put a self addressed stamped envelope in the mail or
take a look at their refrigerator magnet for the online RSVP option. Who knows, maybe they don’t eat, use
the computer or have a mailbox. I gladly accepted RSVP over email or text or
face to face! Yes people, the couple would even LOVE to know if you’re not
planning on coming! I think it is karma; both Keith and my mother are the worst
RSVP’ers in the world. I am pretty
sure they won’t be anymore!

| Ohhh, so that what you did with it.... Well, if the drought continues we may find it! |
Fast forward, 2 weeks
to go. Last weekend some recently married friends of ours said, “2 weeks to
go, the worst!” “You will wish it
was over.” Ok, so Keith and I are pretty sure those people we haven’t heard
from aren’t coming, hopefully, cause we don’t have a spot for them at a table
and the bills (per head!) are paid.
Let’s go ahead and figure out the table assignments and print out and
hand stamp the DIY escort cards so that we don’t have to worry about it a
couple days before the wedding.
All right, we got this! We
have everything organized, packed into bins and ready for an early trip to
Sacramento. We will be all smiles
just bringing ourselves to the wedding and allowing our family and friends take
care of the bins and details.

| Hmm, Discovery channel already knew about the 2 weeks of hell! |
Fast forward 1 week
to go! WELL CRAPOLA! There is
nothing like coming home to a 24 day late RSVP after a 10 hour shift. I took a deep breath, unpacked the
bins, shuffled some table seating assignments around, emailed the vendors of
the changes, reprinted the escort cards and packed the bins back up. I had missed all but 2 innings of the World
Series Giants game, which I enjoy and would have loved to watch, but at least
this wedding hiccup was done and over with. THEN the cancellations begin! People’s excuses are seriously THE BEST! I could have a complete blog post dedicated
to those alone. “I decided I can’t
fly- Ebola scares me” or “I have a soccer game to attend.” You tell them you understand. However, you know the probability of
flying yourself over and kicking person ones ass is higher than contracting
Ebola, and your only hope is that a soccer ball smashes “I SUCK” into person
twos face. You again unpack bins, rearrange
the tables, call the vendors, reprint the escort cards and repack again! OK,
maybe we can still make it to Sacramento to drop off a load of stuff. We won’t be able to bring everything in
one trip.

Ok, Breathe. I have some downtime so I’ll facebook “ONE WEEK TO GO!” Ok, ya, I am
excited. People can’t just “like”
or heck, even ignore it for pete sake.
Instead lets make the 7 day out bride feel bad for not inviting me to
her wedding!!!! I’m a nice person,
but you can’t walk all over me like a bug. My family is like a bunch of hyenas,
and when one is attacked they GO WILD!
Please, don’t cry to me about how mean they are. You deserved it. Am I mean? I don’t care. We moved our wedding excitement to instagram since there are
too many haters on Facebook!
Six days to go, I'm glad you think you can maybe make it, but I'll go ahead and make this easy........no you can’t!!!! RSVP deadline was OCTOBER 1st! This isn't a hay bail bring your own beer affair! The bills are paid, the tables are set and the bride is 100% tired of people who SUCK!
Five days to go..... the person that awkwardly attempted to invite themselves months ago, calls you for weekend specifics despite already giving them the "I'm sorry speech" and never sending them an invitation!

| Now we are officially out of weekend time. It looks like we will be renting a UHAUL truck to hall all our crap to the wedding. |
I can’t wait to see how the rest of the week goes. Anyone else want to tell me anything? I’m sure I can add it to the blog.
I think I’ll go run circles before I lose it, or have I lost it?
Thanks for reading
