Congratulations on the wedding! I saw in your lower comments you've found planning it very stressful. YES. IF I ever got married and that's a big if, I'd want to have the most casual wedding ever. I think the industry screws you over on stuff a bit. As a kid I never had a defined dream of "the perfect wedding" and I'm certainly no fairy-tale princess or into that kind of stuff, so luckily I can dodge all of that "fulfilling childhood fantasties" sort of stuff.

I think part of my problem is I tend to temper what I want with what is practical. Is that a problem? I dont know, sometimes I think it artifically limits myself. I mean, I'm quite young now, starting a business or whatever just isn't in the cards - don't have the capital, don't have the experience, etc.

I want to work more with my hands. I want to actually create things. I'd love to go into baking, for instance, but don't have the experience or training. How can I get it besides either going for a culinary degree or getting hired in a kitchen? How can I get hired in a kitchen without experience? OR, a bartender. I think I'd straight love to be a bartender. But in my state you're not getting hired as a bartender unless you have server experience, and I don't have that. How can I get it? I already have a full time job. I'd have to get a part time job working only past 5 and on weekends, which I guess might be viable...I don't know. I feel like if I were a bartender and good enough I could eventually quit my 'real' job if I wanted and just live off the bartender salary. I think I'd enjoy the hell out of it...

...but mostly, it just feels like a dream.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble, I really appreciate your input. I used to think the destination was more important than the journey, but now, I don't. Good luck with everything! I'm excited for you.
