wedded chaos

it's amazing how much chaos I, in my OCD state, have learned to live with.

there is no longer a place for more than two people to sit down at any given time.

every wall in my house is dotted with spackle. it looks like the apartment has chicken pox and overdosed on the calamine.

there are no longer surfaces upon which to set random items. they have been relegated to a basket. thus, I can no longer find things I need.

other random items dot our other available surfaces, namely dismantled shelving and our box mountain, which grows steadily every day. yesterday I created a box specifically for the transportation of a fully functional katana. and my wrapping paper.

and there's still so much more to do - I just don't know where to start.

errand-wise we're pretty much good, save for a few more things here and there to tie up.

wedding-wise we're also good. we still need some measurements from people for kilts, we need to book chairs, we need to send out invitations and book our honeymoon suite, and a few other things I can't remember at the moment.

we even bought our wedding bands today, which was an interesting experience. it's hard to pick out something that you will wear (and like) every day for the rest of your life. Andy's ring we had to special order, but the one I picked fit perfectly, so the ring I tried on today is THE ONE I will be wearing next August. it's weird to think that the next time I have it on my finger, Andy will be putting it there.

marriage is such a strange and unreal process. you are only supposed to do it once so you of course have no idea how it's done. you end up putting all your hopes and dreams (and money) in the hands of other people, and they are supposed to know more than you and are responsible for making sure everything goes according to plan. it's an odd feeling for me to relinquish control over something so important.

hm.
