what's really going on
i'm in information overload right now. i cry at every blog. i want every pretty thing i see. i fear that there is no way for me to be whatever perfect size i need to be before altering my dress. i want the perfect shrug. i want the perfect photos. i'm turning into bridezilla, but only towards myself.
i have now ventured into the world of 'i should do this for a living' which i bet every [almost every] bride-to-be wanders into at some point. i mean, as long as i am working a full time job AND planning a wedding which is at the very least a part time job--maybe i should just quit the one job and be the wedding planner. but not really.
we could get into all the other things i would rather be doing than my actual job, but planning my wedding is only one of them.
right now my photo project is the only daily and consistent thing that i am doing which pushes me to consider artistic inspiration daily for the wedding. otherwise, i peruse the wedding blogs, which intermittently make me weepy because of all the love i see in the photos, or overwhelmed because my wedding will NEVER BE THIS PERFECT. my family is too crazy, my budget it too low, i dont have a team of friends who can be my little on-site coordinators and i cant afford a wedding planner. I'm a crafty girl, i prefer to do things myself [some might refer to this as 'control issues'] but the thought of that reception unfolding in a way that i dont have to pay attention to seems impossible.
and catering. hooollleeee shit. catering. i cant wait to figure out how that will play out. i am NOT paying $8k for effing food! but i fear that if i dont spend the $$, i wont have the smooth reception. like, the experienced, expensive caterers take care of everything and make it worth all the dough. but i am ready to order pizza and Chipotle at this point.
yikes. this is a frustrated post. here's what i really wanted to show:
from style me pretty
look at that fur shrug. ADORABLE. and mostly, look at that little pic at the bottom left. i love this couple. they are embracing their winter wedding. something i hope to be able to do [wait, my wedding is in winter??]
ok. all for now. must torture myself with more pics of bliss! :)

262. no, 303.
To re-cap:
girl and boy fall in love.
boy asks girl to marry him.
girl wants sweet country wedding and city reception
family wants something else
girl tries and tries to figure out alternatives
family continues to drive girl batty
money starts to win
reality starts to bite...
girl decides to let the dream go.
have the whole thing in chicago.
only if she gets this space.
we even had a [non refundable] deposit down on the first place. yikes. i'm crazy. but this space is worth it. totally.
new wedding. new vision. i'm relieved.
SO my photo project [which is a version of a 365 project] I started 262 days before my previous wedding date, is now called 303. new date: november 26th 2010. thats right. a friday wedding. the friday after thanksgiving. teehee. cant i do anything easy?
now. on to the new vision...
