Over three decades ago, two different couples started a family and welcomed into their families two little bundles of joy. Everything aligned and God saw fit that over three decades later that these two bundles of joy would come together, fall in love, and start their own family. Unfortunately, everything UNaligned for the the bundles of joys’ respective parents and now well…. I’m not sure they can even be “cordial, at best” to one another let alone the new wives that have joined the family. I know we all saw War of the Roses, right? I’m getting married in a garden but I for damned sure don’t want OUR roses to get to swinging on chandeliers and shutting the whole party down.
Being the child of divorce is difficult enough. Being a child of divorce planning a wedding is on a whoooooooooooole ‘nother level. There is a delicate balance in managing relationships with your divorced parents especially if the divorce wasn’t exactly amicable. Tresvant and my’s parents are definitely way far away from amicable. I’ve been thinking that with so many people there our parents wouldn’t even have to acknowledge each other but really…even with my rose-colored glasses on…I am worried. Loving both of your parents and wanting not to hurt or offend either of them really comes to a head on holidays, graduations, celebrations, and most especially weddings. Is there anyone out there who feels me? I just got off the phone with both of my parents and I feel horrible right now. I should just change the name of this depressing ass blog to I Hate Wedding Planning. WTF.
Ladies and ladies, let me introduce you to my theme music- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmmS5Odu6Ag. Feel the drums, hear the sirens, feel the urgency…pure crazy, frantic, frenetic fire! That’s some music to crush opinions buildings with! Those glossy magazines can really kiss my grits…this is insane. Hopefully in about two more weeks I can get back to myself and start seeing butterflies and daisies and rainbows but right now…ugh. I just got off a phone call with an overly-concerned party and her opinions and I cut her off before she could finish any sentence I didn’t want to hear with “this is my wedding, when you get married you can do whatever you want to do.” I don’t like being like this at all.
Okay, some positivity. More ETSY Love! I haven’t figured out exactly what I’m going to do with all the goodies I just got but one I can definitely tell you how it’s going down. When the portrait time is done, the veil (when I find one…LOL) is coming off and I’m going to party. Peep my party flower! It’s a cute lil felt and tulle, feather, and pearl-enhanced hair clip and we’re gonna have a good time! The seller Bedbuggs is super quick so you might wanna check her page. She also has ring pillows, tutus, and other cute goodies.
