Newsflash!

I came to a realization this morning, and it's a biggie. You ready? OK.

Did you know that women? and men? sooooo don't think about weddings the same way.

Yes! I know! Really insightful, isn't it?

The conversation that prompted my new awareness happened last night between me and EC. We're still in the early stages of wedding planning, so a lot of my wedding talk has been of venues and photographers. Apparently, the ratio of everyday stuff to wedding stuff in my conversation lately is a little heavy on the latter. So I asked him whether I have started to annoy him with all my wedding talk. And he responded with something like, "Well yes, sometimes. Not right now, though."

Yow. When you're in a long-distance relationship, phone conversations are all that you have. Well, that, and email, too, really. And I've been all gung-ho on the planning because I'm all about options and possibilities and seeing how they might work out... and you know? Men really aren't that way. At least, not when it's about weddings, it seems. And I've been so focused on the different choices out there that they're all I can talk about, and annoying my fiance in the process. Go me.

I think it might be a little different if we were living together, and not long-distance. But still, I think every guy has some level of wedding blather that he can tolerate, and it's probably lower when your communication is limited to an email or two and about 45 minutes on the phone a day.

Well, lesson learned. I'm going to shut it for a while regarding the wedding. Really, it's not like I have anything new to say about it anyhow - until I can go out to these few sites and take pictures, and until EC can see them in person, we're kind of at a standstill. I'm sure he'll be relieved. I bet he's probably dreading his visit a little, though. Haha. Can't do much about that - site visits and photographer meetings have to be done, unless he wants to just go get a quickie courthouse wedding... and I really don't think I'll mention that because he just might go for it!
