My man and I met at a summer camp and have been inseperable ever since. He proposed in August of 06 and we are to be married in August of 08. I'm attempting to do this on a low budget in the most laid back way possible, but only time will tell how it really ends up.

Patience...

Posted Thursday, January 31, 2008 4:28 PM

Last night at the gym, for the first time ever, my fiance brought up our wedding unprompted by me. It was kind of out of the blue, he asked if I was set on shades of purple for the color (uh, kind of...) Then he said we should consider blue and green.

Taking deep breaths

Posted Wednesday, January 30, 2008 9:23 PM

I'm really not sure if it's me or everyone else or just a complete breakdown of communcation, but it seems like wedding planning makes me crazy. Not good. So, I've stepped down a little, taking some times to take some deep breaths *and exhale*. I'm on

A long weekend

Posted Monday, January 14, 2008 4:56 PM

On Saturday I attempted to get the fiance to look at some wedding stuff with me. He's got me totally confused, he seems to want to help, but not talk about it. Any time I bring it up, I am met with "Oh-no" type reactions. I feel like I'm pulling teeth

Lesson learned

Posted Thursday, January 10, 2008 6:22 PM

So, this morning I was in a pretty bad mood . I need to learn patience. By lunch today, my mom responded to my catering e-mail, saying I did a good job of being thrifty and that we should probably add a few upgrades from what I figured and they'd (my

E rants again

Posted Thursday, January 10, 2008 3:01 PM

So the caterer (yeah, the one with the bounce back "mailbox full" reply) actually got back to me. It seems they are available and all I have to do is send a check to hold the date and then we'll start planning menus I guess. I sent the reply to my finace,

Uh, so today I decided to contact the my first choice caterer. Their website had an e-mail listed and I am very much the e-mail type, so I sent an availabiltiy request to the e-mail address. I got a response right away, unfortunately the response I got

Crappy weather, crappy mood

Posted Tuesday, January 08, 2008 8:12 PM

Well... I spent all day yesterday creating a spreadsheet of caterers (shh... don't tell my boss...) I e-mailed it to my mom, who expressed on Saturday her opinion that I should indeed have the wedding catered (still not sure it's in the budget). My mom

My wedding date is no longer tentative and some additonal thoughts

Posted Monday, January 07, 2008 3:35 PM

After months of telling people: "well, it'll probably be the first Saturday in August, but we can't make our reservation until the first business day of the year" I have official confirmation from Gov Dodge State Park that we have reserved the amphitheater

So much for my plan

Posted Wednesday, January 02, 2008 2:57 PM

Once again I am humbled by my planning gone awry. Will anything go as planned or should I sumbit to the idea that nothing I plan will work out? We are having our wedding at a state park and they take reservations beginning the first business day of the
