i had a mini-meltdown two weeks ago when i updated our wedding plans on excel (a brilliant template courtesy of super-oc tria). actually, to marlon, it probably was anything but mini. but he got the magnitude of my overwhelmed-ness a few days later when i sent him the excel sheet. (i also think he was overwhelmed by the fact that i actually put all so much information together on excel, considering how allergic i am to it.)

then he said, "i'm glad all this is in your able hands, sweetie."

half-jokingly, of course.

i think.
