Wedding Bells and blues

I am getting married this November and I am quite looking forward to it. Most of my friends are married save one or two and few have gone ahead and are done with their family planning stint as well so taking all this into account; I have a long way to catch up.
Sometimes it amazes me that i am actually getting married (its actually taking its time to sink in), I had started believing that all good guys are either taken or gays but sad our lovely Madonna was wrong (she was the one to quote that, isn't it?).
I came across a nice guy and here we are, though at times he is a devil (and there are moments when i really want to hit him but so what?) like when I am in a secluded corner (called kitchen cooking something for him) he switches off all the lights, hides in a spooky corner and poor me (who is unaware of his devilish act) go out looking for him saying, 'honey, just taste this and tell me how is it?' And before i can even complete my sentence he jumps from some where behind and scares the hell out of me and I end up crying (sometimes, not always). This really gives me creep so much so that I even avoid going to bathrooms if he is around (i know it sounds like one of those Ramsay horror story idea but i still get scared). Funny isn’t it but not for me.
Anyway, I was never in favour of a lavish wedding, or so I would like to believe now (well, registry wedding was what I kept driving my mind towards) but to be very honest there was this small very tiny voice which kept ringing in my head, ‘are you mad? After all you get married only once’ (Ekta’s K series are an exception though and I can vouch that no one leads that kind of lifestyle even the bollywood stars and the crazy socialites, huh!). Well so where were we? Yeah my wedding plans. So from a registry wedding it went up to having a wedding ceremony with a small party (count 300 guests) at a suburban five star hotel. But again I am being honest here, I have nothing to do with all this, we are merely puppets and the strings are in the hands of our respective parents. I just kept nodding my head and from a simple wedding it went up to a not so simple wedding. But, what the hell as I said earlier we get married only once. I am actually quite enjoying myself planning, shopping, organising its fun and its all the more fun when you are crazy about the person you are getting married to. I really feel blessed right now. Anyway it’s getting quite emotional and I should probably stop now.
And amidst all this lot of people kept asking me something about the wedding blues and I kept saying no blues and greens for me I am happy and quite excited “touchwood”.But after being asked so much, for fun I read an article on pre-wedding blues which asked to list down habits of your fiancĂ© which irritates you or scares you or makes you feel anxious or really annoys you. I had already listed around five points in my head while reading it but the next sentence read something like this, ‘not accompanying you for shopping of clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, cosmetics and jewelleries or not showing eagerness to watch a romantic movie etc are discounted’. Now what else could irritate me except that the article for sure was written by a man? So I stopped reading any further and decided I am just one lucky bride to not get any wedding blues.
