A cautionary tale.
January 16, 2009
Don’t ever let me shop for you.
Ever.
Every time I have a selection to choose from, I always, always, always choose the most expensive item without needing to look at a price tag.
In this way, wedding shopping has been a nightmare. I love it – it’s tons of fun, but the minute I hear a price, I immediately wince on the inside. And then, of course, find a way to do it in my budget.
But today’s amusement comes from invitation shopping.
I fell in love.
And not the temporary love.
We’re talking the once-in-a-lifetime kind of love that a woman can only feel with truly good design. (and my fiance, of course.)
And.
The invitation set alone started at $1500. to upwards of $4000.
The moral of this story is that I need to hire a wedding planner and then not be allowed to make any major decisions until she can give me a selection of only three items – then I need to go from there.
No one let me near Nordstrom’s shoe department! I’m armed with expensive taste!
