Once this wedding is over, I can go back to normal - or at least its suburbs.
Yep. This Sunday I’m marrying the man I love. I have been losing my mind for the past six months, and it will all be over soon.
The wedding is small, 32 people, but the drama has been _insane_. Here are some bits I found amusing:
Weddings are typically vows of monogamy. Why do I feel like everyone is fucking me?
A dress! I feel like a cross-dresser when I dress up.
I’m so tried I can’t chew and walk gum.
I went out drinking with some friends. Found my limit, it wasn’t a long search.
Lets see honey, you have invited your parents, your boss, your brother, and your friends. I have my grandmother and her new husband (what do I call this guy?), my brother and his girlfriend, my brother’s ex-girlfriend who is my best friend and the mother of my brother’s child, my mother, my chosen mother. . . Are you sure you want to marry me?

Best of luck with it, **Mouse\_Maven**. (It’ll go fine, and if anything goes wrong, it will be good for a laugh in a year or so)

Oh good, I’m not the only one who felt this way.

Best wishes, good luck, mazel tov. May your marriage be better than either of mine.
That wouldn’t be hard. 🙂

Please post afterword and let us know how things went with your mom.
Congratulations, and remember, the wedding is only a few hours, while the marriage is forever.

Awwwww, it’ll be ok, **Mouse-Maven**. And **Anne Neville** is right: if anything goes wrong, it’ll be good for a few laughs later.
Take my friend’s wedding last year. She had a lovely outdoor reception planned in the backyard of her brand new home. The actual ceremony had been held at another location. When we arrived for the reception, we found her new brother in law’s dog had gotten loose and was happily devouring the wedding cake.
And yes, it was funny (although not immediately so to the bride). Best wedding I’ve been to in a long time 😃
