My Precious

Guest list blip #1: verbal invitations. Someone who is not on the “official” guest list has just expressed to us how excited he is to come to the wedding. Oh joy! How many more people are feeling this way? As I mentioned, we literally can’t fit any more people at the venue so this is not really okay. At all. An interrogation of fiancé’s parents ensued. The culprit was weeded out, illicit invitation acknowledged, and some thorough explaining was done. I kind of figured the guest list would shrink after it was completed, but I am learning fast.

Here’s what else I am learning about: some people stare at engagement rings. I mean really, it’s great and all, but can you be a little more discreet? It’s not even big or particularly unique; there’s really no reason to stare. Like I said, I think it’s fabulous but there’s something about someone staring at my finger instead of looking me in the eye that’s unnerving. Call me crazy, but I kind of get protective like they’re going to reach out, snatch it off my finger, and run in the other direction. Then I think of Gollum from Lord of the Rings (“my precious…”) so I guess you can see why I think it’s creepy.
