Wedding Blog 6

Oct 1, 2007 ~ "6 days"

Yes you read right I am a wonderful (depending on the moment) 6 days away from OUR BIG DAY!

Let's just say over the last few days things haven't exactly gone the way they were planned. For starters we changed our catering order last week and I had just about stalk the venue coordinator to confirm it! On top of the fact that we were suppose to discuss final details on Friday, but my stalking didn't pay off until today! I was pissed but once I actually met with her I was ok. It was strange for me to have such a hard time getting in contact with her considering she is normally really prompt to respond to my emails or calls.

My fiance' is still in Texas because of the Good Ole US Army. We had to buy him a last minute plane ticket so he would actually be present on OUR DAY! So instead of several days of enjoying each other's company we will only have Saturday to Monday. No honeymoon right away because of recent events we have no idea when his leave will start! Frustrating! He was pissed too but we both are firm believers that everything happens for a reason. We're going to look at it that way.

My mother is driving me pure crazy. She is the slowest woman alive and has cause several things to become behind! Things that she offered to freaking do! I am trying not to get into it with her because she has her own things going on but she knew that before she offered to do this stuff. So now I'm picking up her slack when my to do list was pretty much done!

So basically my week of very few things to do has become a none stop run around Atlanta week!!!! AHHHH On top of the fact FI and I are not going to get to spend much time together.

I'm still trying to be patient but it's becoming harder. Not just in the fact of counting days but in general. I have people still trying to add themselves to our small wedding. No matter how I explain why they can not come they keep trying. I have a certain co-worker saying she wants to come be our extra photographer.... UM what the hell? I'm paying a photographer already what the hell do I need you for. Oh and she's not saying I'll do it for free either! I'm like so I'm suppose to pay for you to come and eat and then drop you a check for more photos of the same things I am already paying someone for.... How About NO! Needless to say she doesn't have the address to the venue and will not be on the list to get in! Plus I have several people who didn't RSVP who are also not on the list because I've filled their spots with others.

I just don't understand why people think weddings are like a BBQs in your back yard! Hey can I come... I'll bring mac n'cheese! Every item and person has a cost! It's not as simple as it looks on that DAY and in pictures! I understand more and more why people elope! AHHHH....

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We

The New Yorker Cover

I was not going to address the New Yorker’s broadly publicized cover, but since it’s all over the place I will! It portrays Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in a Muslim outfit and his wife, Michelle Obama, in a militant outfit. When I first say the cover on theybf I was very upset. I understand freedom of speech but wow! It seemed like a blatant attack on Obama’s campaign to me! I was appalled at how they put it up, on the cover of all places. Then to have the audacity to call it satire! I know it was sarcasm, but just like some jokes, it did not come across well. Atleast to me! I spent some of time on Monday and Tuesday reading responses and explanations to the cover. I was not as upset after reading some of them. Others made me want to scream. Tuesday, Obama was on Larry King Live. I really enjoyed this interview. At the beginning Larry King asked Obama what he made of the cover. His response: “Well, I know it was the "New Yorker's" attempt at satire. I
