US meets UK

Oh crap.  Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap.  I’ve given up originality, because somehow whenever I think I’m being original or different suddenly everyone else is too.  Back (back) in the day I used to be a girl wearing dickies, ties and had an awesome graduated bob in the front sweeping back to spikey hair hairdo.  I thought I was soooooo cool.  Then Avril Lavine came out and I had to seriously re-adjust my wardrobe.

This wedding is starting to feel that way.  The bridesmaid dresses I coveted? So does everyone else.  Palates involving gray? Everyone is there too.  Wedding suit over wedding tux? Well, that’s an older one, I jumped on someone else’s bandwagon for that one.

It’s frustrating in the sense that people say that your wedding day should be “a unique expression of your union”.  Which I understand, I really do – no one wants a cookie cutter wedding.  But with inspirations overlapping it’s difficult not to flip a crazy switch and say “OH MA GAH! This wedding across the country that no one I know went to is going to look so similar to ours. Crap!”.  Not that any of our guests are probably looking at nearly as many wedding blogs as I am.  But you never know, what if they know my bridesmaid dresses have been featured in other people’s weddings on the internet!?!?

Like I said…crazy switch.

So whenever I start to worry about being unoriginal I start to think about authenticity and this little gem from the internet:

Do you ever find your mind going to the “crazy place”? How do you get back to normal?
