[...] Then we went outside to take some pictures, which was when I apparently started hitting everyone with my flowers. Remember how I didn’t want a bouquet? Well, that was partially because I knew I wouldn’t know what to DO with it if I had it. [...]

I got married on Mother’s Day weekend too (11 years ago). MY florist was professional enough to say not one word. I’m with Dawn on that one–”You talked me into it.”

Of course, my flowers were very simple. My bouquet was three lilies (I think they were lilies) tied together with ribbon and greenery. My single bridesmaid carried one. I had lots of fresh flowers (i.e. on the cake), but they didn’t involve elaborate arrangements.

Don’t skimp on the photos though. We spent an eyeball-goggling amount of money for ours, and never regretted it. Not once.

I want to know…exactly where does one find boob tape??

As my husband said to me during the wedding planning flurry “I don’t want to do this stupid stuff anymore” freakout….”Remember, it is a marriage, not a wedding.”

I read the line about your bridal lingerie as “something suitable on clearance (wool)” and was greatly concerned. I mean, I’m with you on the bah humbug wedding planning thing, with you on the no overly ornate flowers thing, with you on the keeping it small thing, but WOOL?!? On your WEDDING NIGHT?!? I draw the line there, Mir.

And then I re-read it and realized I need new eyeballs. Phew.

OH Mir! Ha ha ha I thought I had that gene when I first started planning my wedding… and then about two weeks into the project my gene died. At that point I looked at my mom (who happens to be the daughter of a WWII bride) and said, “Didn’t Mimsey plan your wedding for you?” to which the response was, “Yes.” and so I smiled and said, “Wouldn’t you like to have a wedding that is entirely yours?” we then broke down into peals of laughter because apparently, she shares the genetic malfunction of not caring much about wedding planning. We found a sweet woman in our church that lives and breathes for wedding planning to help decorate, let the florist do his thing, which he appreciated because we were an evil Valentine’s Day wedding… and we let close friends bring desserts pot luck with the recipe included to make a cookbook out of. Very easy, and I didn’t have to do a thing. Thank heavens for those out there who have the gene so those of us without it don’t have to care!

I was the same way! People just couldn’t grasp that I was a young 20-something and didn’t really care about anything except the marriage, not so much the wedding. My mantra became, “As long as Hubs shows up and the pastor, I think I’m all set.” I was so bored with the rest of the details. My bff and mom pretty much helped make sure there was more to it than my mantra allowed :)

I think you and my wife both got their smartass gene from the same place. she makes running comments, but not just when shopping. and always just under my hearing level.

oh god, why can’t i live next door? i wouldn’t care about any of it one bit either, but i would take endless delight either bossing you all over town or putting you down for a nap while i went with one of my sisters and made all of the decisions myself. can you tell i’m a firstborn?

Having worked in a florist shop for two years once upon a time, I cringed when you said you were getting married over Mother’s Day and needed a few flowers. Valentine’s Day is the other “please no weddings!” day.

Gerber’s are beautiful and you will look lovely even in your boob tape!
