Thousands Wasted….

Just thinking how absolutely excited i am…. I have everything planned for the wedding, well mum has everything planned except the boys suits really and it jus struck me flipping thru all these bridal mags WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE SPEND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on their weddings IT’S ONE DAY!!!! FOR GODS SAKE…… I mean i no it’s meant to be the most wonderful and special day of your life but seriously, you can still have a wonderful day and spend under 10 grand, our wedding plans are absolutely beautiful and im glad i have such a crafty mum who made most of the trimmings for me which are, if i do say so myself AWESOME!!!!! i meant spending hundreds on flowers which for all you know could wilt and turn brown b4 the ceremony, hello use artificial ones thats what i’ve done and our bouquets look amazing and spending thousands on dresses, the dress i originally wanted was $2080 from a bridal shop i got online and found one so similar it was uncanny for $214, in the exact colour i wanted and because their was a delay on it the online store i got it from gave me 60% of the dress price back and it was only a week delayed, and my bridesmaids dresses in the bridal store where $350 i got them online for $103 and they’re gorgeous, online: they where fabulous i strongly suggest www.lightinthebox.com to anyone getting married or just looking for a great party dress at reasonable prices, they are AMAZING!
So it just makes me wonder why people bother wasting their time and money when their are so many ways 2 have a beautiful day without a giant price tag.

On Days Like These……!

Ever feel totally and utterly crappy….? Today is one of those days where nothing goes right, there’s nothing to do and all my partner can do is whinge and complain……JUST SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! God, do you think you’re the only person in the world or what… relationships are a two way street, not a it’s always my fault, you never say or do anything wrong, and a don’t tell me what 2 do parade…… You are at fault 50% of the time not that you acknowledge that, or let me acknowledge that, you do say things that are wrong, not that you would ever admit that and you get the shits when i tell you, and i’m not allowed 2 tell you what 2 do but hell, you can tell me what 2 do all the bloody time….. now the question is, is this fair? aren’t relationships meant 2 be fair? Or maybe i was bought up to believe the lie, the lie that states when you find THE ONE it’s all butterflies and rainbows…….
