We are finally in 2011 and it seemed so far away a few months ago, but the time flew by. We are like 2 months and a week away from the wedding. I know that the time will FLY by very fast. I was finally able to get my sister's dress today. We took forever to order it, that we ended up having to put a rush on it. Hopefully it gets here in time. :/
David's grandmother is down from Ohio which means wedding organizing is in the works. She is going to be a huge help for the wedding. We have a lot to do in the next two months.
It's so crazy. I remember dreaming about my wedding as a girl and then as a teenager and in my early twenties. I've pretty much been thinking of and imaging it forever. Originally I envisioned this huge wedding with a ton of people in some garden or the Biltmore or something similar. Within the last couple years though, I had been picturing the wedding at David's parents house, much more downsized than I originally envisioned and just simple. As simple as I had hoped to make our wedding, there is still so much involved. It's crazy the amount of work that goes into a wedding. Grant it, the wedding isn't turning out as simple as we had planned but it's still much less extravagant than most weddings. We are doing most of it ourselves that way I can do what I actually want rather than what a venue will do or a wedding planner suggests.
Since I am only doing this once in my life, there were some things I wanted to do that would make it really fun, and unlike the normal boring cliche wedding. I don't want to reveal any info though because I don't want to let out all the fun stuff. At the same time I don't want to send the wrong message across that we are having circus performers and carnival rides. As much as I would like carnival rides and sword swallowers, we still have a budget, and those things just aren't in the budget. Plus my request for midgets on unicycles was voted out. :( We will have a few "carnival" inspired things. I'm bummed that my dogs can't be present. Strict orders from the mother in law- no dogs allowed. :(
ok, well I hope after all the work, it was all worth it.
Til next rant...
