Whew! Glad that's out. Realizing you have a problem is the first step to recovery, no? But what if I don't want to recover?? From what, you ask? Let me try again.
Hi, I'm Lauren. And I am obsessed with weddings.
Obsessed, is actually a mild term for the full blown, unending, and ardent A-D-O-R-A-T-I-O-N I have of all things nuptial. My wedding, my best friend's weddings, Eva Longoria Parker's wedding… I am up to date and drooling over the details of every. single. one. I thought that the problem would go away over-night after my beloved popped the question. But it didn't, and here I am, knee deep in adorable planning notebooks, theknot.com community boards, and a slideshow of Ellen and Portia's recent fete. This is all not to mention the 100+ episodes of Platinum Weddings and My Big Fat Fabulous Weddings clogging my DVR and eating up evenings my fiancé and I are supposed to spending "wedding free time" (?!?!) together. [N.B. -- I find that Bridezilla is a terrible abomination of anything nupitally related and refuse to watch it]
So what is a girl to do? I was hoping that this gig as a blogger, specifically about wedding trends, experiences, and advice would help me cope with my problem. Sort of like talking through a terrible situation at work with a loved one or journaling away all things that are eating at your psyche. OR this will be a full-fledge admittance of my love of weddings and allow me to pass on some of my crazy to devoted readers.
In the meantime, I'll just be updating our wedding website... again.
