green_dreamsWhen beginning to hash out the crudest basics of wedding logistics, a great and harsh truth was revealed to me:
John gets to wear black. And I don't.[1]
Additionally, half of most everything I find on this sort of thing when casually browsing runs along the lines of "Get out of the way of the bride!" "The bride knows what she wants!" "Years of planning and dreaming!" "Beware the wrath of Bridezilla!"[2] and I'm thinking I did not get this memo.
I'm supposed to plan this? I should have a Pavlovian response to white lace and bells? There were meant to be notebooks covered with little hearts from back in grade school? Am I honestly expected to look at wedding dresses and have my first thought not be "That would probably be pretty in black"?

[1] Yes, I know I *get to* wear black, shave my head, and do anything short of exchanging ring fingers instead of rings.[3] That's not the point.
[2] I didn't actually see this one, but John swears it exists.
[3] "We are not exchanging ring fingers instead of rings!"
"Oh come on, it's classic splatterpunk--yeah, okay."

Date: 2006-08-06 11:46 am (UTC)Separates are a good idea. I went with a bodice and skirt, rather than a dress, and then wore the bodice to brunch the next day. (Easier for mixing and matching with other stuff later on. :-)
Re: (Not) Making your dress: Agreed about the stress-central. :-)
And, again: tracey is awesome. ;-) (I will endeavor to shut up about her now). :-)
