Last night I had my first ever nightmare about our wedding.
I dreamed that instead of the fall like we’re planning, we decided to move it up to April – two months away. I frantically tried to plan a tropical getaway and we ended up on some deserted island that everyone had a hard time getting to. But the worst part is that all of a sudden my heart stopped as I realized my wedding dress would not be ready in time for the wedding! The biggest chunk of the dream involved me making frantic phone calls, pleading with the dressmakers to please rush the dress because oh my gosh, what was I going to do without my dress?!?
There was a moment of gigantic relief when my dress arrived in a big box and I was ecstatic -until I put it on and instead of the gorgeousity I ordered in December with Patti, the dress wasn’t my dress at all. It sort of looked like the same design (I’d tell ya but it’s a secret!), but it was made of plastic that looked like those bags that sliced bread comes in!!! I almost passed out.
Then I woke up, my heart pounding.
Is this what I have to look forward to for the next 10 months?
What’s the hidden message here? Or was I just really hungry for a sandwich?
Sigh.
For those of you who are interested, yes, the date is coming SOON. I’ll send out an email with a link to our wedding blog where all the details will be posted so you can stop wondering and start booking your vacation days off work.
Speaking of wedding blogs, my book club pals Nadine and Sze have started their own hilarious wedding blog called The Adventures of Bride #1 and Bride #2. It’s a charming mix of really insightful wedding tips and hilarity. Go check it out and tell ‘em I sent ya.

I know absolutely where you are coming from! My wedding is 18 months off but already I’m having dreams about stuff going wrong… The latest installment was the photographer forgetting where the wedding was taking place and going somewhere completely random…
If I carry on like this, the bags under my eyes will be humungous by the time the Big Day arrives!
I’m sure boys don’t suffer like us Brides 2 be – :sigh:
