On Weddings.

Well, Brad and I are in the throes of preparing for our wedding. It's really fun in some ways. In some ways, it's really overwhelming to think of all the little details that have to be taken care of. According to any wedding magazine, we're already months behind on planning- and we're still 6 months out from getting married!

Things that have been accomplished:

*Engagement ring- check

*Chapel applied for and reserved- check

*Bridesmaids and groomsmen secured- check

*Dress, veil, and shoes purchased- check

*Initial gift registries started- check

*Officiant on calendar- check

*Pianist- check

*Honeymoon planned out (mostly)- check

*Invitations- check

Things left to be accomplished:

It's a super-long list, so I'll just mention the things that are causing me the most head-scratching moments.

*Bridesmaids dresses- Oi. I have the color picked, but the actual dress is sort of elusive.

*Caterer for reception- WAY too many choices available. I'm no good with choices, after Ukraine.

*Photographer- I really detest having gobs of pictures taken. I tend to get REALLY grumpy.

*Address list- This is an unaccomplishable task; I'm completely convinced.

*Music- We can't seem to narrow things down.

Anyway, I feel like I should have started planning my wedding about 4 years ago, in order to be timely and on top of things. Also, there are some SUPER creative people in this world; these wedding magazines are full of wedding and reception ideas that would NEVER have occurred to me.

Technically, we have a knot.com site (we had to sign up so that we could access some sites we wanted to check out). I went through and filled out a page about us, and this is the link here.

I'll keep you posted on how things are coming. I'm hoping to get a lot accomplished in January. We'll see how that goes.
