Maybe I am overreacting, but I must be getting older, because time seems to move SO much faster now that I have been out of school for two years. (Wow, has it been that long?) Joaquim and I have just over 100 days until we will be married, and we can tell it is fast approaching, because we are getting a lot of stuff done!
For anyone who is planning a wedding, or will one day plan a wedding, here is my advice to you: forget those lame checklists. Sometimes I look at those and just say, "what in the WORLD?" So many things we think are must-haves for a wedding and reception are so unnecessary. Find your own style and priorities, and stick to them! Don't let anyone tell you what their sister did or what other weddings they have been in were like. It's YOUR day and YOUR celebration, and you can really do whatever you want. All that to say, there are many things on my list that will remain un-checked because they are ridiculous.
Secondly, thank God for friends and family! I have been so blessed thus far with talented artistic help from so many. I would be pretty lost without it.
The warm weather today and the shrinking to-do list and the flipping pages of the calendar are just SO EXCITING. We're getting close!
"Mourning Doves"!?! I always thought it was "Morning Doves"!! Mourning makes it so much SADDER...
ReplyDeleteIn reaction to "it's your day and your celebration"--ABSOLUTELY! I feel like I hardly celebrated, and I didn't even get to eat the food we spent an arm and a leg for!!! Rule #1: enjoy yourselves. I also regret all the time I spent having pictures taken (formally). If I were to do it over, I would have had more candid shots so that I could relax and enjoy our party more. Anyway, if you need any help with the planning process let me know. It can get crazy!
