Wedding Update

Less than a month now. Woohoo! I am extremely sick of the question, "How's the wedding going?" I understand that people (women) are supposed to ask that, and I guess some of them might even be interested in some kind of answer, but I can never think of anything to say except, "Still getting married." Other than the fact that half of my desk at home is covered with wedding-related crap (went on a massive shopping trip yesterday for flower girl baskets, ring pillow, and similar things which will be landfilled shortly after the ceremony...maybe I can give them to someone else to use?) there really aren't any wedding things "going." It's basically all set.

One of those web sites that I waste my time with at work says that in the month leading up to the ceremony you're supposed to schedule a massage or spa day for yourself once a week, to help relieve stress. That means either a) that's just a scam-ish way for women to get more massages or b) other brides have a seriously worse time of this than I'm having. Other than the shopping trip, all I've done this week is put together the playlist for the reception (listening to it now...I'm impressed with myself.) I would like to be the only bride this year to play Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, Beirut, Andrew Bird, and Gogol Bordello. Yes, I am being pretentious. But it's a really great list, and perhaps the only thing about the wedding (except of course the fantasic groom and the actual date) that I actually like. Oh, and the cake. I best get a piece of that cake.
