No, I'm not crying . . .

I'm going to write a little about the stresses of wedding planning. Anybody who has been through it -- I know you can empathize. For the past couple of weeks, I have routinely awakened from a deep sleep around 2 and 3 am thinking of all the things that are still not done. I wander around the house for a while either checking my emails, watching mtv, or attempting to read. I finally fall back asleep around 4:30-5am only to oversleep and be late for work!!! Last night I had a this marathon dream about my family and I planning a big gathering in some strange house. I kept worrying that everything was not going to get done and telling everyone what to do. In the end, everyone except for ME had handled their responsibilities -- my stuff was the only unfinished part of the planning! It was horrible!

Today, I woke up with a full blown cold (which I rarely get) and my left eye has been watering all day. Everyone thinks that I'm crying and they sweetly feel inclined to comfort me with a hug. I assure them that I am fine except for this silly cold. Then my nose starts to tickle, the tears start to pour and I have to go get more tissue! It's not a "summer cold" -- it is totally stress induced. I'm trying hard to convince my physical self to catch up with my emotional self; the self that is finally accepting that everything is going to be just fine. The wedding will be beautiful, my friends will have a great time (which is very important to me.), and Pierre and I will head off to Mexico to enjoy 7 days of stress-free lounging and playing. And, we will return home to live stress-free ever after . . . ok . . . maybe I'm being a little too optimistic. . .

The funny part: three days after your wedding, when you're next to each other in Mexico, you'll look at each other and say, "What were we so stressed about last week? This is bliss!" And you'll wish you could do it all over again.

Just remember.... if anything is not 100.00% right, the only people who will care is you. Everyone else will be so happy for you the details are not all that important.
