Wedding Woes and Catching Up

So I haven't written a meaningful post in quite a while - my apologies. (Not that anyone actually reads this). There hasn't been much to say except that I am always bored and restless. I don't know how to fix that...but I always tend to get really restless this time of year because it's too cold to play outdoor summer sports, but there is no snow to do winter outdoor activities (ie - snowshoeing, sledding, etc.) So I've pretty much just been working, eating, playing WoW, and sleeping.

Which of course leads directly to the wedding. Everyone seems to be wondering how I can be bored when I have a wedding to plan. I will try to explain.

1) Planning: I am not much of a planner. I like to think of something, and then do it. I don't want to go on a vacation where every moment of my trip is slated on a to do list...that is just my personality. So motivating myself just to plan in and of itself is difficult for me.

2) Budget: Everything is so bleeping expensive that even looking at costs and budgets stresses me out. My sister says I should really budget 10 grand, and she is right, but hello! don't have that kind of money floating around.

3) Ceremony/reception: I want a nice simple elegant (not extravagent) wedding. But to have a nice elegant wedding takes us back to item #2. So that is discouraging.

4) Guest list....need I explain? Again, item #2 severely limits the guest list, which of course, will piss people off when they don't get the invite.

5) Honeymoon: Item #2, again. We can either afford to have a nice reception OR have a nice honeymoon. Cannot have both. I would rather have a honeymoon, all our guests would prefer a nice meal. Planning a honeymoon I would definately enjoy, but whats the point in looking at all these great honeymoon packages when you know you won't be able to afford any of them?

6) Details: Flowers? Cake? Location? Religon? Buffet or Plated? Catered or Restaurant? Colors of dresses? Music? Photographer? DJ? Attendants? oh my god the list keeps going. It is too overwhelming. I don't even like flowers - they make me sneeze.

So yeah those are just a few of the reasons that in all of my boredom I am not doing any wedding planning right now...hope that clears it up for everyone.

BUT DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME HERE!!!! I really do want to get married. I am madly in love with Greg and I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with him. It's just this whole planning thing that sucks.
