Even Paradise Gets Stinky
So your future mother-in-law just added twenty more people to the guest list. Your brother hasn't confirmed if he'll make it to your wedding. Your fitting has been rescheduled and most of what you had at the tasting you can easily beat with something you can whip up in your own kitchen.
You've dreamed of this time for years. Shit, maybe even over a decade and now you're in it. Really IN IT. In the heat of it all and it's not quite what you imagined.
It's ok.
Take a breath.
Close your eyes and take one hell of a breath in and slowly let it out. Do this five times.
Feel better?
No?
Ok. Here's the deal.
Sometimes, even paradise gets stinky.
This is what you dreamed of.
It may not feel like it with most everything hanging in the air, waiting for that long-awaited check mark on your to-do list. People disagree on the tiniest of details. Budgets are stretched. Tempers pushed to the limit.
Ok, again, close your eyes...No, we're not doing that breathing thing again.
Close your eyes and think of the last vacation you took with your fiancé. How you people watched from a coffee shop, explored new places together, got hammered and woke up in each other's arms in that king sized bed. The time he proposed. The times you laughed until your tummies ached watching a stupid video. How he looks so happy devouring his pho noodle soup at your favorite joint. And how he gets along with your dog, sometimes even more than you do.
You're about to marry this awesome dude. You're about to be Mrs. whatever-his-last-name-is in a few weeks.
This IS your dream. You are living it. And everything else is just bullsh...everything else isn't really that big of a deal in the bigger scheme of things.
Ride the wave, baby. The highs, the lows, the wins, the compromises. Ride it all with an unwavering focus on what all this is really about. The two of you about to be known as Mr. & Mrs. whatever-his-last-name-is and spending the rest of your lives together.
In five years, shit, maybe even just a year, you'll forget about all the delays, the disagreements and maybe even your sister's excruciating speech. All you'll remember is how it all came together in the end. Because it will. It really will, even if you can't see it at this moment.
What's a wedding with no drama? Non-existent, is what it is.
So close your eyes, yes, we're doing that again, and keep it closed for a while. You need all the beauty sleep you can squeeze in in the middle of all this bullsh...wedding preparations.
Nighty.
