The Royal Wedding...
How can I have a blog dedicated to wedding planning without mentioning it?
Okay so I wasn’t sold on the whole thing. I mean, yes I wanted to see her dress, but I wasn’t about to have a viewing party much less wake up two and a half hours early to witness all the hoopla. When I woke up for work I turned the TV on hoping to just catch a glimpse of her dress (which I thought was amazing by the way). I started getting ready and listening to it. My plan was to turn it on, see the dress, and click the power button, but I couldn’t’ turn it off. I’m a sucker for weddings, apparently even royal ones. As they were reciting their vows I started to well up. I started getting teary eyed for a couple who I know nothing but what the media tells me about. I cry at weddings, I remember being at a family friend’s wedding as a child and crying my eyes out. I used to think it was all the pretty things that were associated with a wedding. As I grew a little older I thought that it must be because someone I know and love has found their person, the love of their life. But now it’s different. Now I’m engaged. Now Rude and I have made the decision (though it was made long before a ring) to spend our lives together, to be wed. Now I can’t watch weddings on TV… not just on scripted shows where everything is perfect because it’s written to be, but I can’t watch weddings on reality shows like the ones on WE network. Now that happiness is mine too, and I can’t stop tearing up.

So this isn’t acceptable for your own wedding. You can’t stand up at the altar and cry your eyes out. I’ve already made the promise to myself NOT to look at any of the females in my family, primarily my Mom and Gramma. They will cry and if I see them, it’s game over. But I know emotional women who have gone up without a trace of a tear, said their vows and walked back down smiling. So what stops them? I need to find out before next June, or I will look like a blubbering idiot. J
It’s Sunday, which is the day they show wedding programs all day long on WE. Maybe if I watch enough and cry enough it will knock it out of me.
I hear you on this one. Every strong emotion that I have elicits tears. I'm really happy? Start crying. Very angry? Start crying. Sad? Same deal. It's pathetic. Sometimes just thinking about mine and Sean's wedding is enough to start my eyes tearing up. If you find some way to keep emotions in check, please share the secret (preferably before July 23!) =)
