wEdDinG jITTeRs

I have disastrous dreams where all sorts of unimaginable things happen to me during the lead up to my wedding on the day - dress catastrophes, tripping and breaking heels, someone in the audience speaks up when the celebrant asks 'Is there anyone who objects to this wedlock?' - you know just the usual cold feet jitters I'm sure.
It is a stressful event to organise. It is financially straining to the point of bankrupt. Everyone of your family expect to be invited and those that aren't probably won't speak to you again. The pressure is enormous.
I am wondering how many weddings are actually the straw that broke the camels back and lead to a hasty divorce - because I can see how that could happen.
I suppose it could be seen as the final test to true commitment, if anyone can survive a wedding together and still be smiling at each other afterwards then it was meant to be. I'm not convinced Justin and I are going to be smiling when we fork over all the money, but I have a feeling we will be trying hard not to crack up when George Sproule (Justin's Bestest Man-friend) gives us away. Once the shoulders start going we are not going to be able to look at each other. I guess that means it's true love somehow :-)
