Like a vaccine against Bridezilla-itis....

A wise co-worker offered me these words of advice that have become my wedding planning mantra:

"The only really important thing that HAS to happen that day is that you and Johnny walk down the aisle and say 'I do.' Everything else is just details."

I do love planning the details, though. (You should see my wedding budget spreadsheet.) When I was in third grade and wanted to be a teacher, I used to amuse myself by writing lesson plans. Honest to Jeebus. I was a sick child. Even now, I get an inordinate amount of joy from writing out my monthly budget and making grocery lists. I may be odd, but it definitely makes the planning process more fun!
