calm down ninabina, and do yourself a favor and listen up. there is
nothing in this world that can cause mass stress and mental comfusion like
planning a wedding n your own, esecially a large one. forget about the
wedding plans for a week or so--lord knows you have plenty of time to lose
your hair over stupid shit like reception favors--and just enjoy talking
to or being with him.

you marry for a partnership, a friendship, for love. no, you dont have
to have the urge to jump them every time ya see em. yes, you're freaking
out mildly (again, very normal) and yes, you're getting married and you'll
be very happy. :)
