There are so many moving parts to a wedding, and I, it turns out, am a bit of a perfectionist.

I'm not a perfectionist. I don't have enough patience to go over the same details over and over trying to get it perfect.

I have always been a very patient person, I am a perfectionist but have a high level of patience and think that's one of the things when I started my comeback that really helped... I wasn't rushing anything as long as I knew I was on the right track.
