			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-55784 aligncenter" title="Say Yes to the Dress Ramona Keveza dress, Leslie Saunders bride s02e03" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/say-yes-to-the-dress-ramona-keveza-dress-leslie-saunders-bride-s02e03.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="239" /></p>
<p>I’ve never been the girl to think about my future too much or obsess over meeting Mr. Right.  I’ve met a whole lot of Mr. Wrongs lately so I’ve been happy hanging out with Mr. Right-Nows instead.</p>
<p>Even when I was little, unlike many other girls, I never ever fantasized about my future wedding… until now.</p>
<p>I’m 21 and I’ve got the bridal bug.  It’s all I can think about! I don’t know if it’s all the “Say Yes to the Dress” episodes I’ve been watching (I’m obsesssssed) or if my biological clock is fiercely ticking faster, but all I can think about is weddings, weddings, weddings.<span id="more-55452"></span></p>
<p>Over the past few months I’ve gone from an I’m-never-getting-married mentality to I-want a-short-ceremony-on-the-beach-250-guests-top-and-a-Monique-Lhuilier-dress-from-the-2010-spring-collection mentality.  And my sudden interest in floral arrangements and color palettes is starting to freak me out.</p>
<p>I realize a wedding and a marriage are two completely separate concepts: a wedding lasts a day, while marriage is supposed to last forever. But I <em>realllly</em> want to have that one day of planned perfection right now.</p>
<p>Does anyone else feel this way? And should I feel bad or pathetic for feeling the way I do?</p>
<p>I’ve always been a huge supporter of single womanhood and feeling complete without the presence of a man or relationship, so why all of a sudden do I feel that I need a WEDDING to feel whole?</p>
<p>Am I starving for some attention?  Is this just the natural effect of a society that has us believe from a young age that women aren’t fully complete until they’re married? Or is my uncharacteristic desire for romantic bliss a sign that I’m desperate for a relationship?</p>
<p>These are all questions that I just don’t have the answers to. But <a href="http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/348">Dr. Phil does</a>, obviously. According to him, if a woman is feeling any type of pressure to get married or the desire to get married (without the presence of a boyfriend…let alone a fiancé) she has lots of issues that can only be solved by these types of self-probing questions.</p>
<p>I’m not too keen on Dr. Phil (he seriously creeps me out), so does anyone else have better advice for me? Help me, and fast, before I pack an overnight back and camp out for Kleinfeld&#8217;s next blowout sale.</p>
