What Wedding Stress?

Feeling stressed? Head with your honey to the nearest amusement park! Definitely a good way to scream at the top of your lungs without turning any heads!

We are less than one month to go and seriously, I'm not stressing. Is it normal to feel so *meh* about everything?

This is not to say that everything is complete. I have the wine charms to finish, escort cards to begin, favors to fill, wine to taste, dress to find... Yet, I'm so blase about it all. Is it called 'living in the moment' or being dispassionate? 

I feel like I should be wound up about getting married in 4 weeks. But I feel as cool as a cucumber. I'm excited about seeing friends I haven't seen in years, but thats about it. It sort of feels like everything will come together in the end so what's the use about worrying. Even if all my projects fall to doggie doo, we still have the winery and the food and all the love, so everything else is just an added bonus right?

Am I missing the "Bride" gene? I'm not even caring about the facebook thing. You know what I did after my brother's wedding--- posted all my pics to facebook! As did all my cousins. So there goes that, I ate my own words.

Maybe I'll get more bride-y when we head to California. A visit to V. Sattui for our wine tasting might just do the trick!

Anyone else suffer with the case of the 'meh-whatevers'? Did you feel weird for not being 'bride-y'?

Facebook Faux Pas?

I'm just as guilty as the next person when in comes to Facebook stalking---err-- "research". I have certainly seen wedding photos of Facebook friends mere minutes after they stepped into their venue. Guests are excited and iPhones and Blackberries come out to play and before you know it, your months of planning and preening are reduced to a photo on someone's "Mobile Uploads".

Maybe this is a bit of a stretch, but with all the dough we are dishing out for professional photos, I'm not sure if I want Facebook to be the first platform to present our wedding day on. Is it wrong for me to ask our guests not to post photos of us on their Facebook? It is a vacation for many of them, and I understand  it is their own experience and obviously I'm not opposed to sharing photos of themselves or the winery or any of the pre or post-events. I'm certainly not going to ask my friends not to post their own photos, but can I ask them not to post photos of the Bride and Groom?

I want to be able to pick and choose which photos I want to share with the world. Is that too much to ask? In the era of insta-share, is it okay for me to want to keep our wedding day a little close to the chest?  I am totally one of those people who 'un-tags' themselves in bad photos!!! I sort of feel weird placing a Facebook ban on wedding photos. I have seen ideas where the couple asks friends to upload their photos to online albums, so I know that is an option. Help me hive! Am I being too much of a brat? What is the best way to go about this situation?
