I haven't blogged in ages which is bad because it makes me feel better. Between the economy and my wedding I find myself too exhausted with stress to write.
So many of my favorite desigenrs are cancelling their fashion shows in the tents this year to save money. For example, Betsey Johnson will be having a small cocktail party for her most important buyers.... which means there's no way I will get to go. Betsey Johnson shows are my favorite part of fashion week. They're so exciting a different. I am so upset that she's not showing in the tent this year. Other designers are following her lead. I don't know because I was so upset that she was moving her show I didn't pay attention to anyone else.
In theory the wedding should be fun. I am marrying the man of my dreams and we get to plan a huge party together. Unfortunately, I feel like the second I got engaged all I have been dealing with are other peoples problems. Maybe it's because when you're a bride you get a lot of attention and people get jealous of that and their insecurities cause them to act like assholes.
The worst part is people will say," It's your wedding you should do what you want and tell everyone else to shut up...but can you do this one thing differently? Because I have such and such issues."
I just don't get it. I was a bridesmaid in and Indian wedding and I had to sit for 6 hours while people put henna on me. Did I like it sitting for 6 hours and having henna on my body for a month... No! But I did it because she was my friend and it was her day and I knew she would do the same thing for me on my day. I had an aunt who had a tap dance themed wedding. All of her bridesmaids tapped dance down the aisle and carried parasols. I thought it was the stupidest thing ever but I didn't say that to her because it was her wedding.
Everyone just seems to loose touch with the real point of things. Bridesmaids and Groomsmen are there to support the Bride and Groom in the biggest decision of their life. Registries are to get the bride and groom things they need and want. Parents should give guidence and support but not push what they want onto the couple. Bridal Showers are about friends. Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties are a chance for the Bride and Groom to say goodbye to single life not an excuse for other people to ditch their significant others for one night. Weddings aren't a chance to show how fabulous or rich you are they are about a couple making a commitment. I could go on and on with examples but I am starting to feel preachy.
I am so glad I bought my dress less than 24 hours after we got engaged because if I had waited any longer I would have had to deal with everyone telling me what I should wear.
