I envy those who get married merely months after their engagement. For the last couple weeks, I get bored at night and decide to work on the wedding stuff. There is absolutely nothing for me to do right now! I want to plan everythign out and have everything in order, but I'm stuck! I go to google search and type in "wedding stuff" just to simply try and find somethign to do. I found a list of things that you are supposed to do from the beginning, 9-6 months from the wedding, 6-4 months from the wedding, and so on until the actual day. Well so far, here is the list I can do so far..
1. Share the news with family and friends. Alright, I am doing that. Don't really know who else I know that doesnt know!
2. Discuss finances. Ok, so I havn't actually asked everybody, but I guess I assume if they want to help out, they will! I hate asking people for money!
3. Set the date and location. Done and done. October 24th at the New Hope Church with the reception in Stewardson.
4. Meet with Pastor. Actually, I still need to do this!! Daniel and I have to take a class before we get married. So I guess I will get moving on this one!!
5. Make guest-list. Alright, I started this like the day after Daniel asked me!! Currently Ihave 112 people invited. I am still waiting for my mom's list and my soon to be mother-in-law's list as well.
6. Think of style and theme. Alright, kinda classy with the colors being red and black with a Paris themed reception.
7. And lastly, start shopping for a dress. I already have my dress, plus my bridemaid's dresses!!
So now I have to wait until crunch time before I can do anything else. I think in the next week or two I will have my reception decorations picked out. Other than that, I don't really have much else to do other than food, dj, and cake. That is about it. October is SOOO freaking far away!!

I think you are doing great, and think you are right on track. Get the pastor stuff out of the way, and the rest will just start to fall into place. Well, except for the finances. You need to ASK in order to get help with that! Those won't fall into place. ;o)
ReplyDeleteby the way jason doesnt use the internet, ive had my wedding dress at my parents since i got it. i wont let him even peek at it. if it makes you feel better you have more done in some areas then i do and my wedding is before yours. we havent even officially got our pastor yet. dont worry soon enough you will think you dont have enough time in the world to get things done
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to admit this is mind boggling! I cannot believe my gooby is getting married! Either you grew up really fast and I did not know it or I AM GETTING OLD! hmmm...lets go with you growing up really fast! I am so excited for you kid! This is really neat. It will all work out, don't worry about that! We got engaged and married in about 5 1/2 weeks so I did not have the long engagement and the waiting...cannot help you there sweetie! It did go by fast though! It will sneak up on your and you will go...where did the time go? Cannot wait! It will be so pretty!!!
