When your wedding is no longer about you....
It's funny.....I have been told that my wedding is about me and my Fiance....guess what!! It's not! It's bascially about whatever everyone else wants and they dont even take you into consideration. I have been so incredibly patient in this process but now that tiny bridezilla attitude is slowly coming out. From the ridiculousness of the Church in which I am getting married at....to my parents...I am starting to go nutty!! Why can't I get a say in something?! Heck..if the church gets their way.....I won't even get to have who I want to sing at my wedding. It's just such an injustice and this is why so many people turn away from the Catholic church. First.....I was forced to sign my life away...or my future children's lives away. I had to sign that I would raise them Catholic. Okay....not so big of an issue...except Mark isn't Catholic and I love how the church ignores his faith and his beliefs....and they are just like sooo what....they gotta be Catholic. Next....this stupid choir director and her high horse. I am not allowed any outside accompianists, and my singer has to be deemed "an accomplished Christian singer." Why does my singer have to prove anything? She is who I want to sing...I don't want the horrendously awful people they have at my Church...my ears don't want to bleed at my own wedding thank you!! And finally.....we meet with the priest.....decide that we shouldn't do Communion or honor Mary thing because Mark isn't Catholic...so it does not make sense too. Come home...tell the parents...they freak out and Dad insists he's calling the priest and raising hell about it! This is a sure way to push your kids away from the Catholic faith. Plus....again...NO ONE IS EVEN TAKING MARK INTO CONSIDERATION!! HE IS NOT CATHOLIC......SO WHY SHOULD THEIR EVEN BE COMMUNION WHEN HE CANT HAVE IT!!!!! Ughhh....sooo annoying. When your parents aren't ridiculously hardcore, Catholicism is a great thing. Except my parents are insane about it.....and as strong as my faith is....sometimes I wish I was another denomination because over the course of my life I have missed out on so many great opportunites because of their ridiculousness. It makes me resent being Catholic..which is awful to say...but it's true. My younger sister is prime example of this. I will never ever push my kids (even when they are adults) into doing things my way religiously speaking. Faith is a personal thing...but my parents make it an obligation....and that's not how it should be. Then they turn things around...and make it sound like I am unchristian and that I have no faith. I am just so sick of it...and can't wait to be free to make my own decisions.

Wow! Hello bridezilla! haha. I'm sorry, that sucks. I hope it works out for the best and won't drive any wedges between anyone. I have a great idea - why don't you just get married at the beach? Italy? Destination wedding? I AM SO THERE.
