I'M GETTING MARRIED ON SATURDAY!? Hah - I don't think I've really mentioned much about the wedding since first posting our engagement well over a year ago. I remember when we first booked the date with our venue I set up a countdown on my phone and it was 500andsomething days away. I literally cannot believe (and it hasn't really sunk in yet) that it is now less than a week away. The passage of time is funny like that, it always seems to sneak up on me.
When thinking about our wedding months ago I had all these high hopes of channeling all my super-chill brides and being one of those girls who is all laid back and whatnot. I cannot lie, these last few weeks I have been a BASKETCASE. As my Mother (oh, God Bless my poor Mother) says, "Catherine, you aren't a bridezilla, you are just a Nervous Nelly." Truth be told, I am literally phobic about being in front of a large group of people...combine this with my lifelong battle with weight, tomboy tendencies and a non-existent self esteem and I am one dress fitting shy of a straight jacket.
How's that for keeping it real?
As I've said many times to the recipients of my hysterical rants, the only thing I'm *not* nervous about is marrying Joe Dugan. So on Saturday, whether I feel like a "bride" or not, that is exactly what I'll do :-)
