club wed:
The CIA
I’m hereby making a declaration: I, Jenna Bridal Guide’s Global Girl and newest member of the club, do solemnly swear that I will only talk about my upcoming wedding on a need to know basis. I will no longer entertain ridiculous requests, idiotic input or doomsday predictions. Nor will I ask for advice from anyone that has no direct contact with the outcome of My Big Day.
So what’s the dealio? Why am I making such a proclamation? Call it the first in a series of wedding planning walls. I’ve moved past the everyone-is-so-stoked-for-us phase headlong into the everyone-has-an-opinion-that-is-not-value-added phase. And I’m here to tell you, it aint pretty. So, I figure the only way to avoid feeling like this about my loved ones is by zippin’ it. (I actually considered taking someone off of THE list after she pitched a fit or three about not having a plus one. And I started to cry while at work when I felt the pressure from one pal to make my wedding the must-be-invited-to party of the century.)
So that’s it. No more updates on sites, dresses and dishes. And no more: “So what do you think about the fact that we are getting hitched in a church?”
Instead I’m going to try and act as if everything is normal, and I am in no way headed toward Bridezilla counrty. I’m pretty confident this plan will work. What about you gals? Is it easier or more difficult to talk about your wedding?
(ps this declaration in no way means I’m going to stop blogging about my fabulous sparkling day…I mean I’ve got to get the Led out somewhere…..)
I’m like the first track on Beauty and the Beat: “Our Lips are Sealed.” |

Talking about your upcoming wedding easy? No. How did I handle it? I eloped! To Paris. It was a 2nd wedding so maybe not such a bigey. Of course something happened in our NYC neighbourhood while we were in Paris, on Sept 11th, 2001 where my family (and by that I mean my sister) had to track us down to our hotel room discovering the elopment and breaking the news to mom before I could! Hang in there!
