304.

Planning a wedding makes me scratch my head. It causes eyebrow scrunching wonderment. I know that planning a wedding can be a big task but, it doesn't feel that big yet. It feels simple, does it start with simplicity? I am a baby bride so bear with me. I have come to a halt in the middle of my road. I feel like I haven't woken up to the reality of planning. We have our church and reception hall contracts signed. We have talked to the photographer and the pastor, and a budget is set. And let's not forget, my shoes for the big day have been purchased and are sitting at the top of my closet. These shoes are dancing inside their box, calling my name, yelling at me. They want to be worn and I can't wait to wear them. I feel like I am six again, doing a dance of my own, the pee dance; waiting, biting my lip and running around in circles. I don't know where to go from here. I think I am having a crisis moment, without the drama. No tears, screaming, or frustration today. Just awaiting the next step while sitting in my bed with an "80's called and they want their scrunchie back" hair-do and face mask on. For now, I leave with flowers/looks that I love, colors, texture, oh so yummy.
