engaged for a month, and already it starts. i haven’t even ASKED any of my bridesmaids officially to be my bridesmaids yet. yes, 2 of them know for sure because he have talked about the fact that they would be in my wedding for years now, so it’s just a given. and i’m planning to ask my sister. apparently i threw out some kind of comment to this effect at the wedding we went to last weekend, and now his sister is apparently crushed that she’s not in the wedding. my thoughts were first off that i just hadn’t thought of that yet. second, we haven’t even found a PLACE or set a DATE yet. i haven’t even ASKED anyone yet. first things freaking first, people. this to me is just upsetting. the fact that i have barely even begun the planning process and already i’ve hurt someone’s feelings. this is clearly going to be the first of many times.
our tentative guest list count is already up to 311, and that doesn’t even include many of my friends that are not best friends, but friends i would like to invite, nonetheless. AND i’m only inviting the other 3 third grade teachers and my 2 bosses, NONE of the other teachers in the whole school. how can i when his family has a list of 180 people already? supposedly not many of them are going to actually COME (they live about 4 hours away), but still–what if they DO? then what will we do? i’m afraid to book a place assuming we’re only going to have 200 guests for fear we’ll end up with more “yes” replies than we’re anticipating. i simply cannot afford to feed and booze that many people, much as i’d like to.
shoot me.
really.
clearly i can do nothing right. and hopefully my future sister-in-law is not going to hold this against me for the rest of my life. sigh.
