A Downfall to Wedding Planning

Planning a Wedding can be Fun, looking through magasines, getting ideas, imagining a celebration that you've planned, .... But a lot of it can be very stressful.

Yup, you are probably thinking, definately with the saving money, cutting down the guest list, keeping everyone happy, gathering information to get the best deals .... But what a lot of people may overlook, is the stress it puts on the relationship.

I mean Jeff and I get along great, love spending time with each other, etc. - afterall we have decided to marry each other. We've been engaged for a few months now, and there's about a year until the wedding. Seems like a long time doesn't it? But there's so much to do, and so much that we are already doing (both with wedding stuff, and other things like moving...). It's crazy. We still don't know where or when we are going to have the wedding, how big the wedding party is going to be, engagement party?, photographer?, videographer? and the list goes on.

Now the problem with having a bunch of stuff on the go, and trying to plan things together is this: TIME. Yup, that pretty much sums it up. So what is the the Downfall to Wedding Planning that I am getting at? Well, see I am no longer a girlfriend. It's really annoying. Instead of being like "Awesome ... Jeff and I are going to go catch a flick tonight, or go to Salsa (it's been like 2 years since we've been).", I'm like "Phew, I finally get to see Jeff ... I wonder what we are going to have to plan today." Jeff and I are now "Planners in crime" instead of "Partners". It still has it's ups, but not as much fun as going out on dates.
