That's right. We're getting married. It's no surprise to the general public or to us for that matter, but now that it's socially official (and by that I mean diamonds, not facebook), I, like many many other girls, have wedding fever. We set the date, we set the budget, I've got everything I need to start planning our perfect day.
We're getting married! [08.25.2012 so long as we can get the church that day]
To start off, let me say that we don't want a huge wedding. Correction: we decided not to have a big wedding. I would invite 450 people (with dates!) if we could, but it just isn't practical for us. We wanted to keep the guest list to about 100 people (doesn't sound too small, but with huge families, we could barely squeeze in a few friends) so if you know me personally and you're following up on my wedding blog, don't be offended if you don't get an invite. It's not that we don't want you there, it's just not in our budget. If anyone wants to begin attendance drama, I will personally see your way off a cliff. Our day, our choices.
I don't mean to get all bridezilla so soon, but I just had to nip that one in the bud.
That said, here is my vow to not be/become a bridezilla. You all read it. There it is. I have no intentions of yelling, screaming, crying (tears of joy do not count), swearing, or throwing any other such tantrums about anything having to do with this wedding. The wedding is going to be fun to plan and a great day and all, but my marriage is far more important. If I can't handle napkins being the wrong shade of blue, I've got bigger problems.
I hope that whomever stumbles upon this blog has as much fun reading about my upcoming wedding as I plan to have putting it together. I hope to provide inspiration for your perfect day, and hope that some of you can give me ideas and inspiration for mine.
