it's been a bit stressful at times, but i think planning my wedding has been good for me

it's forced me to be both decisive and assertive, neither of which have ever been strong qualities of mine.

my fiance has absolutely no opinion on anything (which can be infuriating, but that's another story), so all the final decision are falling on me and i think i'm doing pretty well for someone who can't even decide on dinner most nights.

i'm also the type of person who would rather defer than hurt someone's feelings, but i've had to say 'no' flat out a few times during the process. like telling my dad, who is footing probably 98 percent of the bill, no on a few aspects of the event. or telling my bridesmaids that i don't want a bridal shower. we're talking about three of the four or five people to whom i'd say yes in almost any situation.

plus, i've only had one wedding-related meltdown since i've begun the planning, so there's another upside ;)

i hope everyone is well :hug:

it is a good thing to be able to be a bitch when you need to be. wedding planning absolutely comes with that privilege. enjoy it.

but i'm sure i will at least once before this is over and, for the first time, i'm ok with the thought of having to show my teeth.
