Everything I read about wedding planning states that you should allow your and your FI''s personality to shine through in your wedding. The problem is that none of this wedding "stuff" feels like us. How does prancing around in a big white dress, while FI wears a tux, being the center of attention, having photographers snap photos of us all day, equates to being ourselves? I have to be honest here, I''m feeling lost, almost swallowed up in a sea of expectations of what I should be and what my wedding should be. I really have no idea of how to personalize the day.
Please don''t be offended...but I see so many weddings and the only thing that seems to change are the flowers, the linen colors, and the favors. The other little details? I think only other brides notice these things. Am I wrong? Or have I read too many blogs?
I''m really not articulating this well and I''ve been trying to write this for a week. I''m really just a down to earth, jeans and a t-shirt kind of girl. FI, really a jeans and a t-shirt kinda guy. I don''t want to spend the day pretending we''re something we''re not. I do understand we should dress up for the day, don''t get me wrong, I just don''t know how to make this day say "Mr. and Mrs. House cat."
I feel like this is a very deep and meaningful day that I have waited for 34 years to happen. I want to proclaim that in some way. I just don''t know how to get that across yet.
Does anyone feel this way? Am I overthinking things? How are you personalizing your day?
Thanks for listening...
