just so you are all prepared, this may be my main stressor over the next few months (alright, 3 years). It's not like I want it to be, but I am sure you can all relate one way or another!


So, even though danny and I are not going to get married till 2009, people are already annoying the fuck out of me about the plans of the wedding day, my engagement ring and the type of dress i want to wear and the people in my wedding party, etc. So, I am going on record to say that: the way americans think about a new marriage in the works is really fucked up. Everyone is so fixated on the things that should matter the least....monetary things that don't really mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Don't get me wrong, I love the thought of having a beautiful wedding day to celebrate danny and I beginning the marriage, but I just don't get what it is about people and being obsessed with the wedding. Shouldn't it be more about what the day represents opposed to what the colors are or how huge the diamond is? It's so superficial and a bit upsetting.

I guess my ideal response from others when they here we are getting married would be along the lines of this: "Wow, congrats! That is so wonderful...you and danny are great for eachother....I wish you the best in the future....and despite trying times that may come...I know you guys will work things out."

Instead of an engagement solely being dependant on one day (the wedding) it should represent the meaning behind why people get engaged.This may seem like a basic concept, but people don't think about the grand scheme of things when an engagement happens. PEOPLE! IT IS NOT ABOUT ONE DAY.....So, with that in mind, i am excited about the day and want it to be perfect (I mean, don't we all)....but we are all way too wrapped up on this whole wedding day concept.

Yea, so I think my mom is "surprising" me by taking me to the wedding expo this weekend. I am not sure, but she keeps dropping little hints about it....I mean, it's a cute gesture, but it's a little overwhelming. 2009 is still a ways away, and I don't want to get wrapped up in the plans too soon.

For those that care....All I have for the moment is:
-I would rather elope than have to deal with this whole mumble jumble
-fall or early winter wedding
-pink (any shade) must be one of my colors (i would like 3 colors)
-I would like to have my wedding here in buffalo
-if I want everyone I want in my wedding party, my wedding party would be about 100 people (obviously not possible)
-wedding is going to be huge thanks to our lovely large families
-danny's mom may be too much for me to handle at times (but i am sure it will work out)
-and my diamond ring is already broken (2 prongs broke off).... which bums me out big time....so I am sending it back to the jewelers and we are going to just get a whole new ring....


so don't ask anymore questions. it is just too much. thanks...



In other news: I hate to say it, but I kinda miss home (las vegas)....I am ready to be back in my own bed in my apartment with my puggies and danny. It's a good thing.

sophia is the most amazing puggy in the world. i love her sooooo much.

And i went to the doctor today....i have a sinus infection. cool.
