It's finally happened. Girl not only lives and breathes the wedding, but now it's haunting Girl's dreams. Girl is constantly thinking about the wedding all during the day, even if she doesn't want to. But the one place Girl thought she was safe was when she was asleep.

Girl finds solace in the time when no one can ask if she's excited about the wedding, no one can ask what color her bridesmaids' dresses are, and most importantly, no one can tell her what she NEEDS to do.

When the day is over, Girl cuts off all communication with the outside wedding world and forgets about every detail. Girl and Boy avoid talking about the wedding at all costs and place themselves in a protective wedding bubble. It's for the best because Girl doesn't want Boy to run away, and Girl wants to save what's left of her sanity.

With the wedding getting closer, Girl notices the one place she thought was free from any type of wedding hullabaloo is no longer safe. Her dreams are being invaded by faceless fools. Weird looking bridesmaids come dressed in jeans. The minister looks like Harry Potter. Guests throw globs of dirt at Girl and Boy as they leave the reception.

Girl can't get her dress to fit right and has to put on rags at the last minute. Another night someone is holding Girl down and not letting her walk down the aisle. All of a sudden all of the guests are gone.

Each time Girl has a nightmare about the wedding the end result is the same- Girl and Boy don't get married.

Girl has decided that the engagement period was invented to prepare the bride- elect and bridegroom- elect for the trials and tribulations of married life. If Girl and Boy can get through this, they can face atondyathy ing. Girl has decided to take this as a learning experience and see how Tstormonogr rhoewr nerves really are. may be another story.
