I have to be honest. Something about this project was bothering me. That is not to say that I haven't been inquiring. I am really have a lot of fun looking at wedding "stuff". I was getting my hair done and had an excuse to pick up the bridal magazine! I have been talking with my married friends. One slight problem...I was actually feeling a bit of guilt or perhaps uncomfortable with the topic I chose. I am not changing the topic, but because I am not engaged...I was feeling perhaps like I might be jinxing myself. I know this is not necessarily true (we talk about getting married all the time), but I feel like I don't want it to be less exciting for me when my time actually comes to plan "my wedding".
So here is the deal. I am going to look at this not as what I might want to use at "my wedding" and more like what the possiblities are for a bride and groom. I know, I know...you are probably saying that it is the same thing. Let's just say this is making me feel a little better about choosing this topic.
Yep! Just as I suspected...I feel so much better already!!
I have decided, like I said before, to focus on reception topics. My main points of interest will be:
Decorations
Tents
Flooring
Port-a-Potties
China and flatware
Menu
Dessert
I feel like after I finish this project and when I am actually engaged, I will have knowledge of the topics listed above without making definitive answers on what I would actually want. I will know the options and then Brian and I can look at these together and decide.
You've made a sound judgment call in my book. Now that the guilt is out of the way, you can focus on rifling through the ridiculous amounts of wedding planning books, magazines, and websites that all claim to have the answers. Good luck, you have my sympathy.
ReplyDeleteSidenote: I like how Port-a-Potties come before Menu (and Dessert) on your points of interest list. :)
I understand that feeling of guilt and uncertainty that you felt with your topic. I had some of the same feelings, too (not guilt, but the uncertainty). I think kids sometime have the same problem when they pick a topic and begin inquiry-- hesitation and confusion that they've made the "right" choice. I'm glad you're feeling OK about your decision and are confidently moving forward with possibilities for a bride and groom :-)
