A More Perfect Union
Melissa gave me this book as a gift when I was in Dallas and I just started reading it last night. It’s totally making sigh in relief, since I think I’m reacting to being engaged just like the main character in the book. I don’t have my “perfect” day planned out in my head, I have no idea what to do in terms of flowers, dresses, budget, location and almost find it revolting altogether since I’m so busy with other things in life.
Bobby and I are from opposite sides of the country and don’t have a specific place we REALLY want to get married. We want to do something nice, but not go overboard, we do not want to be stressed but find ourselves totally stressing out when trying to make any major decisions. The wedding industry totally does that to people though – making you think you have to make it perfect and fabulous and over-the-top. I want it to be a day I remember forever, not a stress-filled day of craziness that leaves me wiped out and exhausted.
Anyway – I’m super excited to keep reading this book and find out what she decides to do with her wedding. Maybe it will put things into perspective for me and help me handle it Shellie-style. Thank you Melissa for the wonderful gift. I really needed a new book to read as well. Muah!
Looks like I need to pick that one up as well…I’m gonna put it on my B.A.M. Shopping cart.
I can certainly pass it on to you when I’m finished reading! :)
Yay! Yes it was a gift from Jess Torres to me, so when you’re done you should pass it on to someone else. :) And yeah, the book rocks! Screw the wedding industry and their craziness! xo
Maybe I should read a bit of this book too. Although I’m not stressed out in the least about wedding planning. I know it’ll all just work out. :)
