I am the Wedding Planner

Wedding planning is so much fun! A little stressful. I have almost an entire year to plan my wedding and already I'm having to make sacrifices and come up with backup plans. I don't understand how people can plan and have everything work out in less than a years time. Already my first choice location for the ceremony is booked. I have settled for a new location and have high hopes for what I can do to decorate it so it looks a little more... my style. My first choice reception location was also booked... but that was a blessing. I have found someplace else that I think will be much better, much more affordable, and exactly what I wanted.

I will post more details when things become finalized. We haven't put down our deposits yet. My mother is at home visiting locations for me and taking pictures. But I think these two important sites will both work out wonderfully. The only other big reserve I have to make is for my photographer. I've been looking at people's work and I've been contacting some companies. So we'll see who gets to be the lucky ones to take care of me on my big day!

I think we decided on no dancing. Sorry to disappoint. Dancing hasn't been a huge part of my life up until this point, and I'm not going to die without it at my wedding. It would be fun and it would be something more entertaining that toasts and a slideshow, but I'm sure I'll think of something that will fill that gap. I'd rather have something low key and more sociable. I know, dancing is very sociable, but I'd rather have a big tea party or something! Don't worry, we'll serve real food as well.

So far, being away from home while trying to plan has been a little difficult, but not horrible. I think my wedding will be everything I've always hoped it would be. All this planning I've been doing for the past three years was not in vain! Ha Ha!

I finished my summer class today. That's a relief. As long as I get an A on my book review I'll get an A in the class. Let's keep our fingers crossed on that one! I've never not gotten an A on a paper with this prof... but I wrote it late at night and I didn't proofread it. So let's hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes or repeat myself!

Oh life. Summer is wonderful. And I am in love. What more could I possible want?
