One Window Closes, Another Opens!

Apparently, I am A Horrible Bride To Be.

How do I know?

Every time I sign on to The Knot, the website devoted to All Things Wedding, I am faced with A Long List Of Things I Have Not Done. Today, I checked and had 115 Things that were Overdue. Overdue!! One Hundred And Fifteen Freaking Things! And just in case you didn’t know, The Knot likes to put Tiny Exclamation Marks next to each Overdue Item. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like That!!!!!!!

In my attempt to Correct This Matter, I immediately looked over The Overdue Things List. Surely, I must have done Some Of These So-Called Overdue Things already! Booked a Venue? Check! Selected A Caterer? Ha-Ha, I did that Today… Check! Book an Officiant? Um. Oh. No. Where do you get An Officiant from? That’s like A Rabbi, right? Meet with your Florist? Huh? Flowers? I can’t even decide What My Colors Are!

And so, I immediately went to TMZ to see If There Were Any Good Celebrities Who Got Arrested Stories today. Ah. Britney was Late For Court! Lindsey has been Drinking! Some Rapper I Never Heard Of Was Seen Canoodling In Vegas! I felt Lots Better.

Moral of Today’s The Daily Randi Blog Post: If you happen to be Attending My Wedding and notice The Lack Of Officiant, Flowers, And/Or Any Other Wedding Thing You Would Think A Bride Should Be Able To Take Care Of In A Timely Manner And Not Just Avoid Via Web-Surfing Procrastination, Blame Britney Spears.

My archives from the year leading up to our wedding are full of rants about the knot. It is the stupidest website in stupidtown, and yet I could not stop checking to see what I was not doing. (By the way, I never did pick colors. And I was just fine and here I am married and everything.)

Poor Daily Randi! I remember your pain. Breathe, woman! Breathe!

Don't let the knot suck you in! You'll be fine. Some of that stuff they put in early and can be taken care of later in the planning. It's good to get thinking about it, but don't stress. :)

More like The Not, right? Don't worry, OCD doesn't look good on every bride. Say Yes To The Dress, Say No To The Stress!

Any more puns and I'm going to get fined. Oh, which reminds me, I always really appreciate your well-thought-out headings, such as the one for this post. Nicely done Smartypants! (That's a compliment, I am an aspiring Smartypants myself.)
