It's a bittersweet symphony

bloodsong1How does one deal with a painful happiness? With bittersweet joy? Where one is rejoicing in being able to do certain things and blinking hard to prevent crying in public?
I had a chat with True Blue last night. I now know what my wedding dress looks like.

I found a website that does beautiful crowns. SNB saw one he liked and said he would wear it to the wedding.

Sammisnake has planted IDEAS into our heads.

DARN YOU SPANGLY ELEPHANT!!!
*Spangly Elephant shrugs trunk and goes back to the shoe options*
I am pleased with the Spangly Elephant decisions. It's making this whole Thing seem more real. Reality is a little scary. I KNOW it's okay, intellectually. I know my family and friends will support me, which is a LOT more then I got in previous Things. (My parents have yet to support ANY marital decision I've made, even though they warmed up to Wolf before we moved out East. This is why my parents will receive announcements and not actual invitations. What's the point? Damn, that hurts.)
This bittersweetness will take time to process. It would be nice if I could figure out how to process it faster and/or more easily.

Yes, it's all your fault.
Date: 2013-02-28 11:06 pm (UTC)I expect you to wear comfortable dressy flats. I expect everyone else to wear comfortable dressy whatevers. Comfortable shoes are critical, IMHO. Spangly Elephant is eyeing open toed heels for me, we'll see if I can talk it into something else.

I'm thinking the deep purple one. Obi can be a beyatch to tie, so I'll probably go with wide silver sashes and do simple bows in the back with the ends tucked in.
