overwhelmed

Um, yeah. Sorry about that little outburst yesterday. I feel much better today.

I am feeling totally overwhelmed right now. Today was mostly filled with some pre-preplanning for the wedding. Yikes! Thinking about budgets and dresses and whatnot.

I had no idea planning a wedding was going to be so complicated - or expensive! Sheesh. The idea of going to Vegas and getting married at Elvis' Chapel O' Love is sounding better and better.

So what's been decided? Not much. Dave and I have ballparked a date for the wedding: late March or early April of 2001. That's about a year, and should give us time to get our shit together with regards to immigration and money. It seems so far away... But I know it's going to just speed by.

Sammy has jumped into high gear. Between her, Min and my mother... Wow. They're all rabid wedding fans, and the thought of finally seeing me get into a dress voluntarily is too much for them to handle.

Today Sammy and I went to the bookstore to browse through wedding magazines. Why? I have no idea. I think Sammy just wanted an excuse to look through wedding magazines. I had no idea there were so many ugly dresses in the world. I must have looked at 500 dress styles today, and they were all hideous.

My dad wants to know how much this will all cost, of course, and I haven't the foggiest. The "average" wedding budget in the US is $18,000. There's no way we're even going to come close to that.

How about this: some guy in the corner with a tape deck. Some cold cuts and bread. Beer. Err, and a dress and rings or something.

I'm going to go stress out, now.
