damage control

so yesterday john and i were talking, and through the rumor mill he heard that people are talking about me and my blogging. first of all, thanks for those of you who read because i have no idea who does considering NOONE COMMENTS. i had no idea it was that many people, but thanks for caring about how my wedding planning is going and just about me. i know that i have been using this blog as a sort of scrapbook of all the fun things i find and a place to vent, so those of you who read and might get discouraged because i sound stressed, i'm sorry, and i'll try to be more upbeat. things with wedding planning are honestly fine except for the minor etiquette things and overreacting of my mother at times. the craziness is starting to subside and i honestly am just working on last-minute things now like tables, my own stuff like shoes and jewelry, and the like. all of the wedding planning will soon be coming to an end!

anyway, the reason this is called damage control is because i wrote a post a couple weeks ago that apparently is causing a lot of controversy among people that may be coming to the wedding, and i may have been a little mean. like i said earlier, this is a place for me to vent, and in doing so i may lose some tact at times. i want to reassure everyone that john and i were very deliberate about the people we invited, and we are thankful to everyone that is coming considering we know that it is far and people are spendingn a lot of money and even vacation days to come celebrate with us. we don't want anyone to feel unwelcome because it is supposed to be a joyous occasion. at the same time, it has been hard because i am the first of my friends across the board, whether friends from michigan, cali, chicago, etc, so for me personally to not grow bitter when people are not tactful and don't have wedding etiquette has been incredibly hard considering wedding planning is hard enough as it is. in addition, because we are a young couple getting married, a lot of people are coming with the side intention of maybe meeting someone at our wedding, which is fine, but i still want a classy wedding, hence my comment about girls dressing appropriately. i think it's normal to say that i just want my day to be as perfect as possible, and my wedding becoming a club is one less thing i'd like to worry about.

i'm sorry if it sounds like i'm making excuses, and i'm sorry if you don't believe me. i hope everyone knows that i'm grateful for them in our lives and for coming to our wedding and the gifts that are coming, and we're both very excited to be able to share this occasion with you all.

this blog will be over soon.
