This has to be worth like 20,000 activity points, because i am completely exhausted.
So...this is one of my "side jobs" (i own a wedding floral design biz). When I do big gigantic weddings like this one, I usually work between 18-24 hour days for 2-3 days straight. (I really really need an assistant...) Usually I stress eat like a mad woman, partially to keep myself awake, and partially just because i'm stressed...and I did better than usual this time, but I still ate more than i should have.
I have no idea on the exact pointage (too busy counting the number of bouquets, boutonnieres, table arrangements etc.)..but i do remember eating 3 pieces of pizza on Friday night (in addition to slew of other stuff, mostly healthy, but too much of it)...then on saturday after i finished setting up the wedding, i had a gigantic hamburger and fries and this enormous brownie thing with ice cream. (i don't know if anything has ever tasted sooo good though)
I think what kills me on the weddings is not sleeping. When I'm tired AND stressed I have no control. Zero. Time to hire a real assistant. (anyone want a job?)
However, as i may have mentioned, this is my last mega-huge wedding for awhile. so, back to self-control, exercise and sleep.

Meg - you may not have slept and you may have eaten too much (at least in your mind - who am I to judge???) but, from the pictures, it looks like one fantastic wedding was had by all! Nice job!!!
Hey, you can send me flowers anytime! Beautiful arrangements! I'm impressed.
I forgot to write. I LOVE (!) the flower/candle combination display (the one with the flowers floating underneath the candles). So, so gorgeous!
Yeah, I think you earned that burger!!! Looks WONDERFUL!
Glad you're going to get a break in soon! Those pictures are so beautiful. ANd were I kidless, I would take the assistant job in a heartbeat!
