After having some damp and dreary days lately I thought, “Oh no, I hope it doesn’t rain like this on our wedding day.”

When you pick a specific date this far in advance, it’s hard to make sure you’ll have a dry day. The weather certainly has a mind of its own and you just have to work with it.

No matter how often you tell yourself that you will NOT go bridezilla on your wedding day, there just might be a little disturbance that you are not prepared for… and it can spark something inside that you swore wouldn’t light on fire!!

Well, let’s just say that the Jeep was NOT CLEAN?!?! and… out came bridezilla! I was pissed right off… oh wait, I am using the slightly less dramatic term “frustrated”, but let’s face it ladies, I was pissed! Um, what part of WHITE DRESS did he not understand?!?
