I Can't Please All of You


You know, I'm really tired of not being able to make everyone happy. Honestly. It's driving me crazy. My wedding, for instance, that still isn't happening for forever anyway... yeah. It's already got people wound up in a knot.
I've got one mother saying no reception. I've got the other saying to have one. I've got one sister saying get an artistic photographer because I wish I had. I've got another who thinks someone in the family should just do it. I've got another person saying it all must be very presentable. Another who thinks a "campfire" and roasting marshmallows would be the perfect relaxed kind. Cake, no cake. Candy bar, no candy bar. Actual reception hall, just at a stake center.
Blah.
Blah.
BLAH.
I can't deal with this kind of stress. I cannot make all of these people happy. It isn't going to happen. I can't even freaking do what I want to do because I'm being guilted not to.
I thought my wedding was supposed to be my day... whatever happened to that?

Wedding Cake

Oh my gosh. I just got so excited.
This would  be pretty much the coolest thing ever.
I may have just found my wedding cake design.



m&m's. 
It's freaking brilliant. That's what it is.
Imagine it with red, black and white m&m's, with two little strawberries on top.
Like this:

I don't think I've found something quite so amazing before.
And for any girl who loves chocolate... how could you possibly go wrong with this??
The levels of excitement for my wedding just shot through the roof.
3 months until Doug is home.
Less than 5 months until I'm married.
AH!
It's finally sinking in :)
