I'll tell you one thing. I am engaged right now, and Kevin is this amazingly wonderful guy... I couldn't ask for more from him. But this whoel wedding idea and planning and colors and flowers and cakes and people and blah blah blah- it's so stressful. So Karen- I'm thinking, maybe we should just get eloped like Ms. Spears did ;)I spent all this time thinking how wonderful it will to be engaged one day. And when it happens, all of these people and family members get in your face and start bossing you around. I just want to be married to him... this planning stuff, being a princess for a day and all that- it's just not me.
So what I'm trying to say is- you'd rather have online proposals. As far as real life- convince your boy to have a Las Vegas weekend trip. Get him really drunk, then get married. :) No worrying about making the skinny bridesmaids look skinnier and making the bigger girls look smaller... no worries about colors, religious ceremonies, reception halls, caterers, cakes, invitations, engagement announcments, making an invitration list you and your other are happy with... ugh. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about being married. I'm just so friggen stressed over all the planning and stupid manipulation from the future mother-in-law (we are having this "fight" about a church. I am refusing to get married in a church, which Kevin is in agreement upon. So she gives me this guilt trip about our souls going to hell and that we won't be able to baptize the kids of someday....a dn when I mentioned that I'm going to let my kids decide for themselves what they believe in and not get them baptized, I literally thought she was going to fake a heart attack AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
I think I just tapped into some repressed stress- hahaha
> Not to you of course, but after drinking 3 pots of coffee, I just finished up the last of my coffee. I have some cheap stuff but you know, that just sucks....

> Thanks for the congrats on the engagement. I'm truly blessed to have a long time boyfriend who won't even discuss the matter, yet a whole slew of strangers who propose via message board.... Go figure... My charming personality??? My wit and sense of humor? My stunning good looks? I haven't a clue but I assure you everyone at Babble is invited to the wedding. As long as I don't receive a better invitation, that is. And of course you (and your inner child) can be part of the bridal party. Though I am curious how that would work....Could you enlighten me please? (Perhaps you walk down first on your knees in a child's dress throwing rose petals, leave and then return as a bride's maid, in a different dress of course?)
