"Chaos in the world brings uneasiness, but it also allows the opportunity for creativity and growth."
My life feels a little chaotic. Can you tell by the time between posts? Um. Yeah.
Here is just a glimpse into the chaos that I call my world:
It may not look as crazy as it feels. I feel like I'm being pulled in two different directions (or more). I feel extremely excited to be getting married. I love Adam with my whole heart, and couldn't dream of spending forever with anyone else. I'm not nervous about being married. However, I'm a nervous wreck about the wedding. The actual event scares the living hell out of me. Walking down the aisle in front of 200+ people, makes me want to throw up a little. I have butterflies just thinking about it. Being the center of attention for probably 48 full hours, makes me want to poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick.
So, here is my plan for the morning of the wedding, to hopefully curb my nerves.
Step one: Get up early, since I probably won't be sleeping anyway.
Step two: Yoga with Aunt Vin and bridesmaids in order to find some sort of center.
Step three: Lock the door after Aunt Vin leaves, so no one else can enter.
Step four: Take a long hot shower inside a locked bathroom, as to have no interuptions.
Step five: Pour a large mimosa. Recipe-champagne, orange juice, and pineapple juice (pineapple juice is key to cover up the taste of alcohol).
Step six: Black out mentally to deal with the stress of the morning.
Step seven: Come out of black out only to walk down the aisle and marry the man of my dreams.
Sounds good right? I thought so.
Oh and just to add to my stress, I decided a month ago that I was going to run a 5 mile race on the fourth of July.
P.S. I have never run in my life until the month of June. Awesome.
why twice?

ReplyDeleteJess: You forgot to mention that you'll be putting on the most awesome pair of socks every made just before the walk down the aisle.
ReplyDeleteKatydidnot: Did the new laptop lover repeat itself?
cheri: she'll probably collapse in a heap on the floor and fight with her stupid, horrible $!*@$*#@! socks for an hour before the ceremony. we'll have to send grandma in to calm her down.
ReplyDeletejess: you know it's true. please, please, for the love of god, try on the socks before the day of the wedding.
Cheri and Aunt Kate-
ReplyDeleteThe socks have been tried on with the whole outfit. We had to make sure the seams sat right across the toes. Which I'm sure they wont' the day of, and I will still proceed to have a major melt down, but at least Mama is nearby. My mom could not believe I was wearing socks in my wedding, not because she was worried about etiquette, but because she knows my problems with socks. She made sure that I had tried the socks on and did a trial run of my hair and makeup before the day of the wedding. She knows me all too well...
Love,
Jess
P.S. Cheri, they really are the most awesome socks in the universe and will look great with my pink cowboy boots and hot pink and orange garter.
You ARE awesome! Yiu are going to be the most beautiful, and serene bride(serene because of yoga) Ever!
ReplyDeleteLove Vin
We know why you will be serene.
ReplyDeleteWe have tried on the socks, they might work, I feel flashbacks coming on. Did you forget the name of the blog? Hide all alarm clocks. I may have a relapse. Hair, yes, I made her make the appt, because I was not doing the trial hair thing the day of, for your mother try the hair thing BEFORE the day of.
PS I have changed the locks and they will be locked. Mimosa's YES!!!
