things to expect
I have been thinking about some things... and I think I will make a list of just a few of the things to expect when you are planning a wedding... these are more on the negative side, just because these are some of the things I have been thinking about lately......
-EXPECT that people will question you. about if you are ready, about where you will live after you're married, about who you are inviting, about many things. people will question you...and they will probably be very blunt about it. maybe not realizing it....but it happens.
-EXPECT for people to assume things about your wedding. there will be people who assume they get to bring someone along because they were invited. they will assume that they are invited, if they think they should be. they will assume a lot of things about YOUR big day.
-EXPECT people to be brutally honest, blunt with you, potentially rude, and confrontational, among other things.
-EXPECT for people to act happy for you but truly hate that you are so happy and in love. some people will say things nonchalantly that give this feeling away, so watch out for that.
-EXPECT for people to say things that you don't necessarily want to hear while planning you wedding. from small things to big things and all the things in between like how hard marriage really is. (well thank you so much for having faith in us. -insert sarcasm)
anyways, if you EXPECT all of the above, than you are prepared for it and it might not sting/hurt/take you off guard so much. you are less likely to get hurt/annoyed/angry/upset etc, if you just expect for people to do any and/or all of the above.
I am ONLY saying this because over the past year ALL of the above have happened to me. and I have gotten annoyed and angry and upset and whatever else. so I figured I would put it out there how I feel about it.
Now, with that said, also EXPECT for people to be over the moon happy for you and surprisingly supportive and willing to help you out and offering anything you need and excited for you, etc etc etc.
it isn't all negative, i promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!
