Alright, alright- my wedding moratorium is nearly at its end. After this weekend, I will jump back into planning with a flourish and rapidly strike things off my list as we draw ever closer to that magical date.
Well. I'm gonna try, anyway.
For those loyal readers out there, I realized today that I have only been writing on Thursdays (my day off) and I hope this is okay with you. Maybe it's too "few and far between" to keep your attention. If so, I'm sorry. I wish there were some more entertaining happenings to report, but news has been slow.
I did, however, have a lovely conversation with a customer at The Green Bean in Greenwood this morning as I sipped the most delicious americano and logged some thoughts in my journal. He admired the fact that I was even writing in a journal, an archaic activity anymore, and I confessed that it had been awhile since I struck up a blog. After asking what the blog was about, we chatted about wedding planning and the challenges of it all. He was very nice and encouraging. Thanks for your words, Mr. Coffee Customer Man.
Speaking of coffee shop customers, I've been finding it so hard to keep my mouth shut when customers come in wearing engagement rings. All I want to do as they're digging in their purse, showing off the bling, is lean over the counter and ask, "So, how is wedding planning going for you?" I am just so CURIOUS. Of course I bite my tongue, as that question doesn't often naturally follow "would you like a copy of your receipt today?" Receipt talk doesn't really invite I'ma Bride-You'rea Bride chit-chat.
Then there's the customer who I desperately want to be, coming in on a coffee run on her way to the venue on her wedding day, with "Bride" written in cursive on the back of her white zip-up hoodie (classic), bubbling over with excitement.
Bah.
I think I actually found myself reaching after her as she left, mumbling "I wanna be you...." before I realized how creepy that would be to witness as my coworker and I pulled myself together.
Soon enough, I know. 87 days, actually.
But who's counting? ;)
