First step is acceptance

Hello, my name is Cara, and I'm a wedding-mag-aholic. ahh...


I FEEL FREER ALREADY !!!!!!

It's true, I can't walk by a magazine rack, with out perusing the latest issue of Modern Bride, Martha Stewart weddings, Instyle Weddings, and other such publications. (I fell victim today on my lunch break,and took a copy of Modern Bride back to my office.) I look at the dresses (even though I have one already) table Decor, invitations, jewelry, fantasize about fabulous honey moon spots , and read the tips and tricks and dos and don't of etiquette and planning, which I've undoubtedly read before in other wording somewhere else.

I know I can get the info online for free, (and I freely surf wedding related sites!) I already know a lot of the things they're writing about (or bought it/have made my decision about it already) So WHY WHY WHY do I feel so drawn to the glossy pages of such publications ?! I mean I have soo many wedding magazines and wedding related brochures from various vendors laying around I could host a bridal fair !

I just like having it all there at once at my finger tips. It is easy to show other people photos and ideas, rather than having to E mail or IM them links that they may or may not look at. Plus (this may just be that the novelty of actually being engaged hasn't worn off yet) its' SOOO MUCH fun to be looking at this stuff like FOR REAL instead of that whimsical, someday, when I get married I'd want a dress like page 57 way you look at wedding mags when you stop into borders or whatever when you 16.

Anyone else find themselves drawn into purchasing way more wedding magazines than necessary ? Do you have any other little wedding related guilty pleasures ?
Excess Jewelery shopping ? Extensive travel to find the "ideal location?" a new found fondness for floral shops ? Spill it !!
