BC & CW's guide to planning a wedding...

So the past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind, and although there has been "some" planning in the works, Brian and I hit a pretty large wall 5 mins. into our brainstorm conversation about wedding details and I pretty much had a five year old style melt down.

It went something like this:

(Brian scrolling through theknot.com's checklist)
"Don't need that... "check" And That's taken care of... right?
"Yeah- whatever just check it."
"Check"
"Oh and this-- big check"
"Uh no, don't check that one yet"
"But this... we can SO check this--"
"check"
"What about this? We aren't doing this are we?"
"Uh... maybe....no...."check"

BC: Okay now location... and guests, and budget.... let's see here- the knot says we have this much for a location with the budget we want.
CW: That's impossible. I can't handle this!!!
BC: Oh come on, we'll be fine. It'll be great!
CW: Please close the laptop- I can't breathe!
(Brian shuts the lid)
BC: Come on.
CW: Where?
BC: We're going to Banana Republic.
CW: New Jeans? YES!

Later at Banana Republic Chrissie imagines herself to be Tim Gunn as she encourages fiance to go down a size for a better fit, try a darker rinse all while Fiance emerges from the dressing room in the highest of fashion denim.

CW:Let me see you turn around.
BC: (Spinning)I like em.
CW:GORG!

(Next Pair)

CW: I heart those. You won't even need a belt!
BC: They are on sale.
CW: Sold.

The cashier rings Brian up and Chrissie feels a burst of adrenaline over the amazing price reduction she just witnessed. Brian scores 2 pairs of Jeans for the price of ONE!

CW:YAY I'm happy again!! New high quality Jeans that fit amazing for you and on sale!!!!

Brian also feels pretty good that his splurge turned into a super savings, and that it snapped Chrissie out of her misery.

BC: You know, if this is what makes you happy then I have a feeling that by the end of this whole wedding thing I may end up with an entire new wardrobe.

CW: So next time I melt down we'll get you some shoes?
BC: Or sunglasses. Whatever you want.
CW (Beams): I like wedding planning.
