But there was no reason that certain individual elements could not be perfection in themselves. . . like, say, my incredibly adorable save the date bookmarks that cheekily ask recipients to "Bookmark the date."
My cousin and bridesmaid, A, helped me assemble them. We spent a long Sunday trimming engagement pictures, gluing them to the gorgeous kunzite cardstock, and laminating them.
I've sent out some of them, and so far had gotten rave reviews. . . until Gramma called. . .
Not that Gramma didn't LOVE the bookmark, but she pointed out that I put the wrong year, 2012 instead of 2013, for the date!
I would like to point out that I did remember to put the correct year in the website URL. I would also like to point out that A is in no way at fault for this! I alone am responsible for the incorrect year.
Wedding Industrial Complex Bride would be freaking out right now, ranting and raving and sending messengers on horseback to wrestle the offending bookmarks out of the hands and books of the guests who had already received them and intercepting them en route for the others.
WIC Bride would immediately commence making NEW and CORRECT bookmarks for the guests who have not yet received their bookmarks! She wouldn't care about the cost! Or the hassle of losing your place in your book!
Well, this bride is not that bride. She HATES when she loses her place in a book because the bookmark fell out, so she would NEVER send messengers on horseback to retrieve her typo-laden bookmark from betwixt the pages of her loved ones' books.
Because really, who cares? Anyone smart enough to figure out how to time travel back to this past June for the wedding SHOULD be smart enough to figure out that the wedding will actually be taking place in 2013!
Note to self- Have Gramma proofread the invitations. . . .
