       I just realized that all of my recent posts are related to stress or complaints & it makes it seem like all that is going on with the wedding planning is not going well. In reality I have been very lucky. My picture in my head is really starting to come together! We have the venue that I wanted (on the grass next to the beach),  invitations that are beautiful & affordable, and last night we found the tux that I had imagined but couldn't describe (thanks to my fellow bees I have figured out how to make it less expensive for my groomsmen). Despite all the things that have been stressful I have a very supportive FH who actually agrees with me making most tough decisions a bit easier to stand by (even if it's hard to hear criticism). I know that it is what WE want! Some how he has managed to strike that balance of interested & involved without being overly opinionated or suggesting crazy ideas. We have had a few moments where we couldn't agree or understand the other's point of view but once we talked about it (or I showed him pictures) we realized that we both wanted the same thing.

    How are your FH's? Are you finding resources to make your picture of your wedding become reality?

    I have been feeling almost exactly the same way.  FI and I have a long way to go yet, but he's been great and we've agreed on all the big stuff thus far.  Sweet man even suggested that we - as in "I'd like to go too" - go to the bridal show next weekend.

    Thanks for reminding me that I am lucky - it helps me keep it in perspective for those little freak outs.

    A lot of the posts about crazy family members, friends, etc, made me really grateful for how smoothly everything was going. I think it helped that we weren't taking money from anyone, so I didn't feel like i really had to consider their outlandish ideas. BUt, my heart seriously goes out to everyone who has trouble. I just feel like a wedding should be fun and joyous, not a monstrous hurdle where everyone's worst side comes out to play.
