the Man and his Bridezilla

George has been extremely supportive of me from Day One of this whole wedding planning process. Not only has he provided an ear and a shoulder, he's also taken on a lot of responsibilities, calling locations and potential photographers, working on the guest list with me, given his input on logistics and details.

But truth be told, we have had more than our usual share of arguments over planning this whole affair. And mostly because of me. I've gone from elated to stressed to optimistic to "can't we just elope" with nothing in between. And he's been on that emotional roller coaster right next to me.

This last argument, frustrated and upset, he told me that he was extracting himself from the wedding planning process and that I just needed to tell him when and where to show up. This statement continued on into a heated email exchange. How did things end ten emails later, you ask? I apologized. He apologized. For he was able to break through my chronic meltdown mode and remind me that, no matter what the wedding crisis of the moment, the event itself is only one day to celebrate what is most important- the rest of our lives together.

And yes, this resolution means that he's staying involved in the planning process.
