Twenty-Two Days to Go

I'm beginning to reach the point of experiencing real stress in wedding planning. There have been speed bumps, but no real road blocks. I think I'm hitting head-on, what I was talking about earlier this week in terms of how family celebrations are more frustrating than joyous. There are so many expectations to meet, and so many feelings to consider. I know that I cannot make everyone happy. I know that it will not be a "perfect" day. I do want it to be a nice day, a fun day, a joyous day for everyone involved. Maybe that's too high of an expectation in a world full of cynics. What I have to realize is that the only person who's joyous attitude I can control is my own. So I must continue to keep in mind that no matter what happens, Jim and I will be married at the end of the day, and rejoice in that.
