Lisa and Lam's Wedding

I will be the first to admit that recently I have had a tough time being a bride. When we first got engaged everyone kept saying "enjoy this time - enjoy the engagement period". In the beginning I tried to keep this advice in the forefront, but recently it has turned into a whisper.

My emotional roller coaster has been spiraling off course. The small details are the things tripping me up. I constantly feel like I have to have a back-up plan for everything. But last night I took the time to meditate and relax and believe it or not it worked!

Me being a bride is a love/hate relationship, but I know I will miss it.

After trying to firm things up with the only bowling alley in Fort Bragg we have come to the conclusion that there is not going to be any bowling in our future. The owner was just absolutely impossible to work with. So instead, I think I found a good alternative. I made reservations for us.

Pizza, beer, wine, and sodas all around! It looks swanky, but I think they just had a good photographer.

and no I am not talking about an item on the registry (that no longer exists BTW).

There is all this pressure for things to be "perfect". What exactly is perfect? Is it that nothing goes wrong on the big day? Is it your body (every nook and cranny) looks immaculate for at least one day of your life (every hair in place, every nail painted just so, every bead held on with its rightful thread)? I want to redefine what perfect means to me, but I am having a hard time. Sometimes I feel like I am breaking the norm, but other times I feel like I am breaking the bank. What is a happy medium?

I do have to say though that things are coming together very nicely, and the vision of our (read: my) perfect day is taking shape.
