Fairytale Wedding

I love my then-fiance, but he is a guy.  And I don’t just mean male, I mean the guy of guys.  Honestly, I sometimes can’t believe he proposed to me and then actually agreed to a traditional family wedding.  I am writing this as a piece of advice because we are now married although I honestly thought a few times that that would not happen.  Paul can seem very insensitive at times and he often hurt my feeling during the beginning of the planning process.

Then I realized I was being insensitive to his guy-ness by trying to drag him into every little detail of the wedding process just because I enjoyed it so much.  We got into a fight and nearly broke off the wedding over cake server sets!  Not actually over the cake server sets, but sort of.  I enjoyed purchasing all my wedding items down to the nitty gritty details.  I was having trouble deciding on a cake server set, I was just going to rent one.  Then I saw it, a perfect cake top for my theme and it happened to have a matching cake knife and server! Naturally excited, I ran to Paul, who flipped out.  He apparently couldn’t take it anymore.  Sounds silly, but come on girls, if it’s true love we’ve had the petty fights, right?  After I got over it and realized this just isn’t his thing, I resorted to calling my mother, sister and/or best friend every time something And you know what?  I enjoyed the experience even more.  (Don’t get me wrong, Paul had his says - he had no problem coming to the cake tasting!) So in conclusion; I say getting married is no joke and neither is planning the wedding, even if it’s without the love of your life!
