Ramblings of a hopeful pessimist.

Edit: trying to cross-post so...

As you all know, I've been engaged for like forever now. Sigh...Rick and I finally set a date...September 25th. We want something small, in Rocky Mountain National Park then dinner afterward. Then we will have a big open house party at our favorite restaurant down here in town for all the folks I'd love to invite but can't. Sounds simple, right? HA! Hardly. There is always someone or something that throws a wrench into this simple plan. I'm ready to elope and say "SCREW YOU ALL!" but Rick's mom would be heartbroken and I don't want to start my Mother-In-Law relationship like that.

On a good note...we've had our invitations for awhile, though I'm sure we have 100 and we're only inviting like 25 people. I think I'll use them to formally invite some folks to the big party though. I found a dress that would/will be perfect on Nordstroms.com for only $198. I don't want to buy a big poofy wedding dress since I will be standing in a forest for 20 or so minutes. Don't need something that formal.

I've let this wedding get to me so much I am just not interested anymore. Which is sad and makes me really angry. I've been told a billion times to not let people get to me and to keep it as "our" wedding. That's way easier said than done.
