As most of you know from class, I lost my job because of the massive budget cuts taking place in education right now.  I am not sure what the plan is from here, so if anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.  In addition to figuring out what I am going to do with the rest of my life, or at least when my paycheck stops coming in, I am trying to plan a wedding that is less than two months away...I spent eight hours working on invitations (I went the do it yourself route to save money) and with the help of a friend, I got them all put together.  Now comes the task of finding a million addresses. I have cried twice.  I did like fifteen of them before my mom came in and told me I was addressing them wrong.  I was supposed to put Mr and Mrs john doe.  Instead I wrote John and Mary Doe...My mom was like "your an english eacher, you should know that".  I never had a class on addressing letters for weddings.  I must have missed that one.  And there are all of these rules for weddings.  Rules no one actually knows.  The whole thing is a bit silly. I am tired of everyone's stupid opionons.  I don't know how many times I had to tell people I did not want bbq.  Yes, it's an outdoor wedding, but I'm not a big fan of bbq and neither is Dylan, especially in a white dress.  I think listening is a dying art. Everyone tells you "its your wedding, do what you want".  What you don't expect is what comes next.  After telling you to do it your way, they tell you what their way is.  My dad told me its just a ceremony and a party.  If you try to make it anything more yopu will always be disappointed.  I agree with this.
