As it turns out

I’m not a bridezilla. Nor am I really into planning the wedding anymore. Eloping sounds so much better to me. But not Vegas eloping. Maybe the Florida Keys. It’s seriously pretty much my favorite place on earth. And you can get a boat with a captain who is an ordained minister. They take you out, you pick your tiny little island, marry you on it, take pics blah blah blah. And with some you can even name your wedding island.

I love this idea! Super quick, cheaper, less stress, less attention on me. It is about the marriage, not the wedding, after all.

What’s the problem? Oh yeah…that man of mine doesn’t think I really want to do that. That I must just be too stressed out about paying for all of it or that I’m just overwhelmed right now.

But that’s not it. I think the Keys fits us so much more. I mean of course we would have a small reception for family, friends & coworkers, etc. I really think this is the way to go. I can’t convince him of it though.

Eloping for us was awesome. We did it in Florida, just us and the clerk and the other folks at the end of the counter paying off traffic tickets. We were still nervous as hell. It was perfect though. We set up the tripod and took “wedding pictures”. I am so glad we did not spend all that money on a wedding. Do what feels right to you, don’t let the pressure of what is expected fudge things up. Ifhe wants a wedding, you might have to compromise though. Hope it all works out 🙂

I kind of love the idea of eloping.

R: I think what happened is that one day it was seventy degrees, and then BOOM. It was 98 degrees for four days straight, and I didn’t move the pot. I have read that most plants need tons of sun and figured as long as I kept watering it would be fine. BAH. In hindsight, that was probably pretty stupid. I moved the plant to a less sunny spot, and plan to water like crazy this week, just to see if that does the trick. Fingers crossed man. Thanks for your note!
