The Wedding Temptress

Hello Wedding Season. 

I think I'm ready. 

So ready! 

I love this planning phase. I can almost see each wedding before it happens as I make set lists and laminate my printed sheets of bridal party names (with phonetic spellings of course). I picture the guests in chic, bright colors; a stunning bride - with whom I have been meeting and planning all these months - and adorable, carefree children bouncing about the bandstand. I imagine them all becoming increasingly sweaty and silly as the evening progresses, because of music we select and play for them. I am visualizing each one. Imagining the rooms we'll be in, the families, the personalities, the goals we made materializing into this beautiful, perfect day...

I think there is a fine line between craving excellence and being OCD. Sometimes during this time of year, I wake up worrying over some detail for some wedding that is due to occur many weeks (or months) from now. I need to find the balance of caring a LOT, and perhaps caring too much. I enjoy all of this wayyyy more than I ever planned, much  more than necessary. But I can't quit her, that sultry wedding band temptress. 

Her siren song is a medley of 80s pop and current dance hits, and I am foundered by her call.
