So... I have a question.

Okay, so I figure no one reads blogs anymore but I have a serious question here. So please, someone, help!

So, I got engaged about a month ago to the most amazing guy ever. I'm seriously crazy about this guy and I am so excited to take on the adventures of life with him. I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime.

Now fun fact about me: I have never dreamed of my future wedding.

Like, seriously. I never thought I would get married. EVER. But that obviously changed. And now that I am planning my own, I honestly don't really care about it. All I want is to be married for eternity to the guy I love with all my heart. That's it. is that too much to ask? Now I have to make a huge display about it and have guests and family and friends and a reception and party and invitations and this pointless thing and that pointless thing that really mean nothing to the union of Daniel and I. And for whatever reason when my fiance tell his mom (who is taking care of the reception while I am at school) that I don't care what the decorations look like, she doesn't believe it. Because weddings have gotten so out of hand that stereotypical the bride is supposed to have every last detail figured out. And then I am supposed to have a bridal shower too? The heck! I don't even celebrate my birthday! The idea of having so many people attend a party about me is just weird in my eyes. And then I have to care about what food I am serving and how to keep all these guest entertained when only 30 of them are from my side. Having all this attention honestly makes me nervous for whatever reason. I guess I never understood the big deal behind it and why everyone that's ever been in my life (and probably don't care) has to be invited and included in this wedding.

After all that; my really question is: Why is that weddings seem to only be about the bride?

First off it doesn't feel like it's about me or my fiance. It's turned into pleasing the relatives. And secondly, I don;t really care for the big display of my very, very personal feelings and intimate life I'm about to have with my fiance.

So please. Someone. Help me out here!
