Wedding Stress Begins to Melt Away After Finding Kindred-Spirit via Blog

My hunt for terrific web sites continues. In the search, I've found a new blog that it seems I can relate to on many levels (which in part makes me question the purpose of my blog other than sheer narcissism.) Anyway, as previously mentioned I have had trouble sleeping when I start thinking about wedding details. I'm developing a list of anecdotes to remedy this problem. The first of which is to begin a nightly ritual of popping a melatonin. More on that later.

This particular blog from 2000 Dollar Budget Wedding first off has a picture of the what A and I envision for ourselves in like... maybe two years. Bloodhound? Yes, please. Baby bump? Bring it on. So that was ironic, but not surprising considering the strong connection I felt with this person, whose name is also Sara. But arguably the best part of the blog is her describing her and her husband's true vision for their wedding day... an event that wouldn't put them in debt, yet gathered their closest friends and family to share in their happiness and pledge to one another.

When all is said and done, it's what a wedding is really about. I write about finding the perfect dress and booking the perfect venue, which are important things that express who you are as an individual and a couple. However, they're not everything. I need to keep in mind the real reason A and I are inviting all of these people into one of the most precious moments of our lives. Yes, I want to throw them the greatest party they'll ever attend. But mostly I want them to be part of the commitment we're making.

I'm not expecting to be completely absolved from sleepless nights or completely avoid my devotion to the Wedding Industrial Complex, but I'm hoping I can keep the true focus of the day in the forefront of my mind.
