a missing gene.
"I'm missing the bride gene. I should be put in a test tube and studied." Carrie Bradshaw from "Sex and the City" said that, and lately, honestly, I've been feeling the same. One of my roommates got engaged, and I am so happy for her - she's a lot like me, she's not super girly about it and she didn't cry when she got engaged. However, my roomates do love all the wedding shows - "Four Weddings", "Say yes to the dress", "Bridezillas", and the WORST, "Bridalplasty". I'm sorry, but personally, I do not think my wedding day will be the most important day of my life -- in fact, I hope it's NOT the most important day. If I ever get my doctorate, that will be an important day, and when I have a child, that will be the most important day. Not my wedding, which is a big show for other people, mostly. I can't get excited about trying on dresses and veils and all that crap. I like my independence, and I want to want my husband more than I need him, if that makes sense. It may have sounded better in my head.

Hi Jaime-Haven't commented in awhile :). Hope you are doing well...Anyways, I've been married 2 years now and couldn't agree more...we saw our wedding as a wedding plus a big celebration of life and thanking all the people who'd helped us along in life (esp. with my cancer stuff!)...it puts things in perspective. People said I was the most laid back bride they'd seen...I wasn't set on it being perfect but it pretty much was-for us :)...I also just did stuff the way I wanted vs. what society said I should do...

HI Rachel! good to hear from you. I like your take on things. :)
