At the beginning of the year, due to Covid issues, we changed our date from April 18th to September 19th. Now, with September rapidly approaching and Covid continuing to make things worse, we tried to shuffle our date again. Our contacted vendors were surprisingly fine with it, until our venue called back with a change of ruling. We we're informed we must have our wedding there on September 19th, or forfeit all the money for the venue (domino effect- caterer/rental company $, too).
At first I was furious, then appalled. were they really willing to put our family and friends at risk for money? Was I, just by inviting them? Had I blown a crazy (to me) amount of money on a party where we would have maybe only a dozen guests, instead of double that (as originally planned)? Let's just say I spiralled for a day..
Now, I'm trying to remind myself that this will be the day we show our friends and family how crazy happy we are to have found each other, and take vows before them and God that we will love, honor, and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. Guys, I am marrying the man who laughed when I told him I believed I was stupid and unattractive- things my late husband had drilled into my heart. This beautiful, brilliant man I am marrying laughed and called that last guy an idiot, then proceeded to show and tell me for two years, how intelligent, funny, beautiful, capable and desirable I am to him. He proposed with a scavenger hunt set up for me that took almost three hours, over three different cities and almost all our families were in on it. He makes me absolutely bugnuts, and ridiculously happy. I just need a little boost to help me believe we can pull this wedding off to be as beautiful as we hope. I'd slacked off wedding stuff, as we believed we didn't have to worry about it for another nine months.Most of the stuff is ready (centerpieces/catering/clothing/bakery/photographer). Sitting down with our family in a week to hash out the leftover tasks.Can it be done, with class, in just under 60 days?🙏🤞🙏
