"I always think I have to have..." or "Wedding Part I"

Full, composed thoughts in order to blog. But I guess if I just start, something will come out.

It's been months since I last sat down for some quiet to write here, and I regret that for two reasons:

1. I need to practice writing all the time if I am ever going to write anything of serious length.
2. I think things all the time, but later forget them because I did not jot them down.

I am married now. I guess I probably have a lot of things to say about that, and i'd like to begin with the wedding planning.

There is one thing I have found to be true: the stress of weddings comes solely from external human sources.

During my wedding planning venture, apart from the fact that I was in school full-time, there were really no problems. I had fun being creative, planning logistics, inviting people to help, assigning names to tasks, etc., etc. I had fun most with decorating. There was no stress in the process, save the uneasiness of spending so much of my parents' money, which would happen any time I spent that much of my parents' money!

Then it started getting closer---one, maybe two, weeks away. And because I have made a new year's resolution to keep my blog posts shorter, the rest of the story will have to wait. :]

"Thank you, Rachel, for stopping mid-story."

You're welcome.
