I just realised why there are so few blog-as-I-go-through wedding planning projects up.
Why its so much easier to draw from experience and write in second person after, than first person during.
First of all, there is no time. Sure, you could punch out a short post a day - and to be honest with you, I have. But with short posts, making sure they are sweet and honest is hard. Unless you avoid all internal dialogue and keep to the peppy yay! posts.
With short posts, you have to worry about whom you are going to offend amongst your guests by saying something awkwardly.
Unlike regular blogs, your friends and family are far more likely to keep hurt feelings to themselves. After all, it's your wedding. So that's damage you can't communicate about and fix.
And here's the kicker: every single person is always convinced that every single statement is about them. (No, really. We have both a self-centered bias and an egocentricity bias. Consider this excellent old article from NYT.) It's usually not. It's usually about me. :P [see what I did there? ;) ]
Especially the whiny negative statements. So... Vent in private and keep the excitement public? And possibly give a false idea of just how much stress it all is? Or transparency?
Because believe you me, there is no shortage of exciting news!
