rules of engagement 1

now that i'm engaged and [already] caught up in the chaos of wedding planning, i've established a few guidelines/rules for myself:

1. do not stress about the details. the day is about celebrating marriage. with my loved ones. and about having loads of fun.
2. my fiance is my teammate. not my opponent.
3. it's not all about me
4. spend more time building our future marriage than i spend planning the party.
5. when a brick wall appears, turn and go in a different direction. don't run headlong into the wall & then complain of having a headache.


and i've also developed some rules for other people:

1. don't joke about eloping. i already tried this and j. said no. we're going forward with this crazy november wedding scheme so lets all try to enjoy the process.
2. this is your day, too. feel free to give advice lovingly. and feel free to not be offended if i don't take it. haha.
3. be patient with me. planning a wedding on top of the reality of committing my life to another person is scary stuff.
4. ask me questions. make me laugh. give me hugs. and do the same for the husband-to-be. it's his wedding, too.
