Getting Marrieeeeed.

Hello.
My name is Alison.
I am an awesome Pinterest wedding planner. It's been my part-time job [the type where you do it every evening but don't actually get paid, but you should because you're that good] for the past year.
Before that, I was an avid theknot.com wedding planner. Also an expert in that department.

...& then I got engaged.
& guess what I realized?!

It really doesn't matter. None of those little details that I was so sure I absolutely "needed" at my wedding actually matter.
Yeah, I've done a few, I'll confess. I [aka my family & I] spent a couple of hours putting personalized stickers on the bottoms of Hershey's Kisses because it's cute, and that's what you do when you're a bride. Right?
But as I sit here addressing envelopes trying to figure out if the "and family" goes on the same line, and is it "and Family" or "and family" or "And Family", I realized it doesn't matter. No one is going to keep this envelope. [If you do, it's cool, I won't judge you, but that's a little bit odd.]  Hopefully, no one is overly concerned with where/how I wrote "A[a]nd F[f]amily".  [If you are, I might judge you a little. But I'll try not to.] It's tiny details--and they really don't matter.

Basically, what I'm saying is I'm marrying my best friend. That is my priority--getting sealed in the temple, for time and all eternity.  If my hair doesn't curl perfectly, or the punch has 7 Up instead of Sprite [a big no-no, ask my mom :P], or I don't quite word every invitation perfectly, life will go on.  It will. I promise.

However, if someday you get married, and you want help putting a thousand tiny stickers on a thousand Hershey's Kisses, or picking out fabric for bunting, or going through countless pins on Pinterest to find the perfect anything, I'm your girl. Just give me a year or so to recuperate.

PS--Shout out to my family / Sky / his family, because my head would have exploded by now if you weren't helping plan this shin dig.
