My barbies never got married.

I have never been one of those girls who dreamt about her wedding. My sister and I used to play barbies every single day when we were little. (okay up until I was 14) And never once did our Barbies ever get married. They dated other boy barbies but never even thought about getting married. That has lasted until present day me. I never thought about a dress, decorations, location, groom, etc. This is all very, very new. Up until I met Jamie,I was convinced I didn't want to get married. I still wasn't completely convinced up until about 2 years ago. Even then I didn't think about the wedding itself. So now, planning this day has been quite an experience.

At first, I went into it thinking this planning stuff will be a piece of cake. I won't be one of those brides that gets all panicky and freak out. At first it was fine, we found most of our vendors at a great price. Then money started getting forked out for deposits, contracts were getting sent in, everyone started telling me what you should have at your wedding or when you should get this or that etc...blah blah. I kind of had a little meltdown about it. Who the hell knows how to plan a wedding? Certainly not me! This is what I envision: I get to tell Jamie how much I love him and that I'll be with him forever in front of everyone I love in a pretty dress, get a pretty ring to go with my already pretty ring, eat, dance and be merry and watch everyone I love eat, dance and be merry. I don't envision what centerpieces I will have or what the cake will look like, or what kind of flowers I will have. Um yeah....I know that stuff is somewhat important but I plan on passing that duty right along to someone who knows more about it all. Dayna's mom. Brenda knows a ton about all of this wedding stuff because she had to go through it all with Dayna two summers ago. Have at it Bren. It's all yours :) I'll just show up in the pretty dress to say I do.
