Let me just say...

I'm really bad at planning a wedding. Really bad. I don't like it and I'm not good at it and I wish I didn't have to do it.

Don't get me wrong...I'm really excited about being married, especially to the man to whom I'm getting married. He's great. But planning the wedding in which we will become married? Not so good.

And here's why I have to say "I hate to be dramatic," because 1) planning a wedding really is hard when you have a full time job (doesn't that just sound dramatic?), and 2) I've got to start working out/eating right (that just plain is dramatic).

And, look. I know I'm not saving the world from nuclear war here, but I work hard and I get really busy and it's hard to stop what I'm doing to decide whether I want satin or lamore tablecloths. And I know I'm not rediculously over-weight or tremendously out of shape, but it's true my metabolism has slowed down, and I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, and I just can't resist eating a whole bag of popcorn (or cookies, or chips, or a block of cheese, or ice cream, etc.) when I get home from work.

So if I'm going to be in a state of getting married for the next 5 months (which I will be), then I think I'm going to have to embrace the drama of planning a wedding, choose the satin tablecloths, put down the hamburger, and start some serious sweating (and not by simply turning my a/c off).

Here we go.
