Wedding planning and mental illness

As you may remember from my earlier SQUEE! post, I'm happily engaged to wonderful Steve P. We've set the date for April 21, 2007.

Well, this past Saturday, October 21, 2006, at around 3 p.m., it kinda dawned on us that that would be, um, exactly SIX MONTHS TO THE SECOND till our actual wedding, so maybe we oughta kinda sorta think about not procrastinating anymore, and actually start planning.

Among all the OTHER stuff we have to do - caterer, DJ, flowers, photography - we, as the good Catholics that we are (ahem!) also have to go through what's called "Pre-Cana" counseling sessions. I found this rather daunting description of what we're in for. Do you think Cardinal Mahoney's read it?

Anyway, there are so many things to do - which means a whole lot of opportunities to go COMPLETELY INSANE!

But I'm determined NOT to become a "Bridezilla". I'm just going to relax and enjoy this very special time ... till after the wedding, when I become "Wifezilla"! (Steve P. -- don't say you haven't been warned! heh heh!)
