Back in Action

Dear friends,

I apologize for my sudden disappearance from the blogging world. I would say that I’ve been busy, that life has been pretty hectic around these parts over the past few weeks....all of which is true of course… but to be honest a few weeks ago I simply got burned out on the whole wedding thing.


I had simply had enough. My own wedding plans had come to an excruciatingly painful stand still. My wedding dress, which I ordered back in February from Kleinfeld’s, has yet to come in (it was due the first week of June). I have yet to order my invitations and I can’t start any projects because I’m moving from NY back down to FL at the end of July (lets be honest, I can’t be bothered transporting anything else from here to there). On top of all of that I hadn’t seen S. Monster in over a month and was missing him terribly.

Around this time I'm afraid to say I stopped caring—and thus stopped blogging—about the wedding. I no longer cared about the colors, or the centerpieces, or the music. I didn’t care about the flowers, transportation, invitations, welcome baskets…none of it mattered anymore. I just wanted to be with S. Monster. I wanted the planning and waiting to be over--I wanted to be married. Out of the four years we’ve been together, 3 of them have been long distance and honestly I was tempted to go buy a $50 dress from Target, head to city hall and call it a day. Easy peasy.

Somewhere in the midst of all of this, I was talking to S.Monster about the above situation and how I felt about things. One week I had joked about flying out there to see him during the upcoming weekend but knew that a last minute trip to Ireland was obviously out of the question. However, imagine my (very excited) surprise when the idea was brought back up that Friday afternoon and S. Monster asked if I seriously wanted to come out that weekend—because if so, I should head to the airport after work because he had just bought me a ticket!

The weekend was truly amazing and (even more importantly) relaxing. A spontaneous last minute flight overseas was exactly what I needed. Maybe not so much what our wallet needed….but you can’t have it all.

After my overseas soirée, I've had a gazillion other things (all none wedding related of course) to take care of. However I am happy to say that now I’m back and ready for action. I’ve enjoyed my mini break but am excited to get back into the swing of wedding planning. I’m sorry for the extended absence and promise that next time I suddenly jet set overseas I’ll leave a note.

Sincerely,

Fk
