Carla's Adventures in Tackyland
This week, something very, very peculiar happened to me.

I became crazed with stress by WEDDING-RELATED STUFF!

I KNOW, that is so unlike me. In fact, ever since I got engaged back in November, I have hardly ever written about my state of being engaged. I also haven't written about my wedding. I guess I just believed that being engaged didn't define me as a person...plus, I only started to plan my wedding about 3 weeks ago.

Anyway, I kinda promised myself that even if I DID start to plan my wedding, I would NEVER blog about it. Because I have noticed that a lot of girl bloggers who get married start to write about their wedding ALL THE TIME, and it just becomes soooooo boring. Like, a girl can mention wedding stuff every now and then, but constant wedding-related whinging isn't new.

But then, something very scary happened to me last week. Wedding woes completely took over my mind! I couldn't stop thinking or stressing about my wedding- all of the nitty gritty bits, like where I was going to get married, how I would make the invitations, who to invite. I couldn't sleep. I think that part of the reason why I was freaking out so much was because Geoff and I have decided to get married in January. I know- only 4 months away! Panic!

But now, everything is falling into place. Some things are pretty easy, like calling up places and booking them. Other bits are a lot harder, like figuring out who to invite. Praise God, everything is making sense now.

And now, behold: here are some pictures of Geoff and I at a place where we will NOT be getting married! Why? Well, I think it's pretty clear from these photos...


Friends, I am not going to get married next to a giant, fake apple, with a realistic browned effect!




I also do not want to be nagged about watering my plants while I am uttering my vows!




And see the photo below for the spookiest, tackiest thing of all. While Geoff and I were looking around this garden place, we heard some music coming from...nowhere! The frustration at not being able to locate a giant stereo or speaker made me hunt around for the music source. Finally, I discovered it...


Yes, that's right, in the right-hand corner of that photo is a speaker in the shape of a rock. Or, rather, a speaker encased inside a horrible, plastic imitation rock, complete with "realistic" irregular edges and speckles. At this point, Geoff and I were so horrified by the supreme kitschiness of this garden place, that we fled all the way home for some nice bacon and eggs.

Perhaps that is where all of my wedding angst originated. There is nothing like a tacky garden to put a girl off wedding plans forever. But, as you may have surmised, I recovered. Here's hoping that I won't have to bore you with the details again.
