lists…

hey, what’s up. long time, eh? I’m working on my wedding guest list. trying to keep this thing simple and small. i hate those elimination reality shows where every week someone gets cut. This is like that but worse for me. We went with a number that wasn’t going to break us too much.

we came up with a number before any names where though of. and then once you start putting down names, reality sets in. I had a month of stomach pains because I wanted to invite my coworkers and that essentially took up my half of the list. then my best friend, a consistent source of good advice, shared with me in so many words,

Wedding receptions are essentially an opportunity we provide to feed the people who are going to talk in minutia about every aspect of the ceremony, the decorations, the music, and whatnot.

and I stopped agonizing over it. I came up with my half of the list. decided to have people who were close everyday friends and dear old friends who I wanted to share this moment with who’d root for the home team. and then…my grandparents called and said they and my mother were coming. another edit to the list but one that’s very necessary.

if you’re reading this and your not on the list…I still got love for ya
