bridal crap
so i've come to the realization that i don't need everything to be perfect. in fact, i know that it won't be. something will go wrong.
i haven't been planning my wedding since i was in elementary school. i don't want to look like a princess.
i just DON'T WANT OUR WEDDING TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S!

so instead of bending over backwards to get everything just-so and princessy, i'm bending over backwards to be different. i want people to go to our wedding and say "wow, this is really creative and beautiful and touching."
i want our invitations to be cool and hip. that's part of reflecting the style of the church and the reception site (boutique hotel and modern art gallery), but it's also because it's the first thing people see about the wedding. if it's the same old ho-hum fancy scripted font on embossed paper with a pearlized border, they'll expect the same old ho-hum fancy scripted font wedding.
anyway, that's my Bridal Obsession of the hour. the invitations. and figuring out how to word the usual crap to fit a cool oversized ampersand in there...
so that's that. the heart of it is i want to be unique. but i don't want to be unique like everyone else is being unique. i feel like an awkward adolescant. please tell me i'm creative and beautiful and touching.
