So last night some of the "planning" came to a head...my mom hung up on me! She told me that she didn't want to talk to me anymore and then 'click' is all I heard! HA...I almost called her back right away, then I thought...eh, let her act like my crazy bitch ass grandmother, I don't care! That will drive her crazier than me calling back and being a bitch. So...I let her stew. I have to admit I wasn't being very nice but I am over it and sometimes, and I'll admit it, we treat the one's we love the most worse than the one's we care about the least...What a dumb way to act huh?

So, I went out for drinks and dinner with the Sweet One and a good friend of ours and decided to try and forget my troubles and anything wedding related for a few hours. I went to have my hair colored earlier in the day to get rid of the oil spill in the middle of my head and let me tell you...having your hair washed and your head massaged by a very large shampoo guy was like heaven. I almost asked him to come home with me, but then I decided - must train the Sweet One to wash hair and give head massages. I am considering buying a salon hair washing tub!

Anyway, just as we were done dinner and paying the bill my mom called me back. I knew she couldn't continue the stand off that long, not to mention my mother and I speak at least once a day. Yes, weird to some, but generally, we have a very good relationship...

This is the problem I think...My parents (and the Sweet One and I) had no idea how much a wedding costs. I mean, who the hell would? We don't go around planning these things on a regular basis. Plus we're having a wedding in Washington, D.C. - one of the most expensive wedding locations around! My parents, if you ask me, are being a little on the "tight" side because they don't feel we should be spending what it costs to have a wedding. Unfortunately we don't make the prices and hey, that's what it costs! AND lastly, I think the Sweet One and I had very high expectations in regards to what my parents were gonna pay for and are realizing just that...the expectations were a little high. So now, we have turned over a new leaf. We are going to accept any contribution with a smile and a lot of gratitude because every penny they give us really is very generous. I mean, most people our age pay for their own weddings I presume so I guess we're lucky that we're getting help at all and that our families are willing and able to help us.

Today is a new day and I can't wait until this wedding is over...no matter how much in debt we are because of it. It's gonna be fabulous however we do it and it will all work out in the end...
