I didn’t expect it to be this way so quickly, but hot dang, ever since he put a ring on it, it’s been ALL WEDDING, ALL THE TIME. A preliminary guest list has been drafted, venues have been researched, wedding blogs have been bookmarked, an inspiration folder has been created, disagreements with parental units have ensued …
Oh hi, I’m Michelle and I’ve been engaged for 6.5 days.
I’m a bit crazy pants right now, but honestly? I love it. I mean, fine, maybe I’m one of those brides (I don’t even know what that means), but hey, why deny it? We get to plan a cool, hip, FUN party for our friends and family that’s very uniquely us. I think that’s pretty rad. Plus, I might not feel this same sense of giddiness down the line once we realize that, I dunno, our dream locale can only host our wedding on a Monday at 7 a.m. or that Grandma hates Chipotle burritos or that, crap, someone’s gotta pay for all this—so you might as well take Happy Bride now.
Also, we made our very first wedding decision. The most important one, obviously.
Introducing …
I think we’re off to a pretty good start.

My friends were really surprised at how far along in the planning process we already are, considering our wedding is 8 months away, and we’ve only been engaged for 1.5 months. I look at them and say “No, you don’t understand. This is how I’m wired. Wedding stuff is going on CONSTANTLY in my mind.”

So I guess I should give up hope on seeing “Michelle and Chuckie” anywhere on your wedding marketing materials, huh?
