Mine are nowhere near as much fun!

@Anno/Jenn/Carol: thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. Preparing the wedding is sometimes very much fun, especially when a new decision is taken and you can totally picture it and it makes you want to do little jumps up in the air.
But often it's such a burden. When I come home eg yesterday tired from too much work, sore throat, then I hate the thought that I must chase the caterer to send some menu information urgently if we want to be able to decide on the menu in time, that I have to compare 4 offers from printing agencies for the invitations urgently if we want to have the invitations printed in time, that I need to discuss the guest list once more with Jan, that my mom phones to discuss the clothes of the family, .... while all I want to do is simply watch some tv in the evening.
I don't like the look of my agenda when all my previous and next saturdays are taken by appointments in jewelstores, clothing stores, DJ meetings, flower shop visits ....
I don't like it that even if you want to keep everything as easy, simple and spontaneous as possible, you still need to make that decision together on so many points, agree upon it, spend time on it.
I'm sorry to say but very often I don't find wedding planning fun at all. I wish I could jump in time to June and skip this entire part. And read some books and go diving and sleep in in the mean time!
Miss you and I wish I were there to give you a helping hand.
