i'm not done complaining in case anyone wanted to know. i was going to post some pics of the wedding site, but then i thought that removed a good bit of anonymity, doesnt it? so, i cant do that. anyway! michael has the link to this. i'm kinda scared he may read it. i mean, i really dont think he can see how selfish he's being. and i feel bad for talking about him, because i know he's far away, and he's just excited and everything, but damn. it just sucks that i dont count. i really thought my opinion was more important to him than that. his mom wants to have a "drop in" with all the relatives, shortly after the wedding. and he wants to have that big party/reception thing. and then there's the big wedding and reception. damn, how much do you have to celebrate one flipping wedding? i dont mind the family thing, i really dont, but its stupid to have a big wedding/reception, and then have another reception later. thats just DUMB. and everyone keeps talking about breaking out the booze. hello, can you celebrate SOBER? guess not. and now i am moody. and i dont even feel like blogging anymore. maybe i'll go think up some more ideas for my sucky wedding.
well, i'm going to check out a wedding site tmw. THE wedding site. you know, for the wedding i dont want. now michael is being more stubborn than ever. now, not only does he want the wedding and the reception following, but he also wants a huge party for our friends. and he no longer wants the honeymoon we agreed on. he wants to go to the virgin islands. i hate the beach. i hate sand. i hate the ocean. i have a sun allergy. (seriously, ask my mom) so, lets see, now it gets to be the wedding he wants while i'm miserable, AND it gets to be the honeymoon he wants while i'm miserable. what a way to start a marriage huh? it feels like my opinion doesnt matter to him. like I dont matter to him. why is it that i'm always the one giving in? why am i the only one that can find the middle ground? i certainly hope this isnt indicative of the rest of our lives. cuz if so, this is going to be a short marriage. he tells me he's always had this picture of a perfect wedding. and he's not willing to compromise on that. well, i too have always had a picture of a perfect wedding. only our pictures were very different. so, he gets his, and i get screwed. and that is fair how?

and the drama continues. no agreement is anywhere in site for the wedding plans. michael is so hard-headed. even when he pretends to agree w/me about the small wedding, he still insists on having 3 attendants, which means i need 3 attendants which means they will want to bring their families or whatever, which means MORE PEOPLE. so, really he's agreed to nothing at all, behind the pretense that he has. and i am not his friend! :)
