A wedding so grand I can’t afford a house.

My fiance and I have been engaged since November 16, 2013. We love each other very, very much and are super excited to get married…however, the excitement, as any bride-to-be will know, gets slowly sucked out of you with every cheque you write…every little detail you forgot about that’s going to cost money, every time your mother calls you and say’s something like “Oh, dear, did you remember to invite my cousins grandmothers step-sister’s niece?”
As much as every little girl has dreamed about her wedding since the age of 4 (I hope it wasn’t just me) what we don’t realize until we get here is how fucking expensive everything is! Now I know, we can’t put a price tag on love…but let me tell you, there’s no shortage of price tags on helping celebrate it! Maybe I’m just cheap or totally out of touch…but who the hell wants to pay 60$ FOR NAPKINS!? or 120$ for CHAIR BOWS!? Me..apparently, since I did, or am going to. I tried to do my wedding as cheap as possible but still having it my way and looking pretty…but we’re already over budget and I’m not even done yet!! My saving grace is that I have until June of 2015 to attempt to pay everything off. I guess I’m just a little confused as to why everything needs to cost to damn much? I mean really, these decorators are making mad profit off of us brides who “simply must have everything in damask” ok, I don’t, but you see my point. I was lucky enough to find a decorator who, not only would set everything up for me (surprising how difficult that was find) but who also wasn’t over 1000$! She actually is charging us around 400$. I wanted to hug her and never let her go.  There are just so many little aspects to a wedding that I didn’t even realize when I first started. Theknot.com really helped me out, same with Pinterest and just Google in general. I’m the first of my girlfriends to get engaged/married so I feel like I’m venturing out in the great unknown all by myself…and I have a feeling when it comes to be their time, they’ll all be mooching info off of me like a bunch of tulle covered leeches (I mean that in the nicest, most loving way possible, by the way). But, as the first to wed, and their friend..I guess that’s just another thing to add to my ever growing to-do list.

Welcome!

I guess I should start my blog off with a welcome..so, umm..welcome! This is a place for me to just say what’s on my mind, whether anyone reads it or not isn’t the point. If you do happen to read it, yay! Please be advised that I’m an extremely vulgar atheist, so if this offends you..I don’t care, fuck off! 🙂  A lot of things on here might be offensive…that’s just a warning since I dont know what exactly is going to go on here yet lol
So, sit back and relax and enjoy the wonderful world of..whatever this is.
