Geez...I haven't written in months!! I guess after I initially got engaged I got so caught up in the wedding planning world...lol. Well things have finally calmed down a bit, well I guess as much as it can at the moment...I've taken a slight break from wedding planning for the past month to focus more on Christmas. But anyway I'm happy to report that so far wedding planning has been a great experience without the stress that I anticipated. My fiance and I took a bit of a different approach to planning where we've basically taken it all into our own hands...I've learned from watching friends and other outsiders that if too many people get involved in the planning process it tends to make for a lot of drama...people might not like our approach but it's working for us and it's been a great experience for us. We've had to make some important decisions together and that really brings you even closer to your guy. So since our engagement on July 15, 2007 we have our photographer/videographer, DJ, Ceremony Musicians, reception sight of course, pastor, florist, and I recently found my dress (which of course I did with my mom)!! It's such a great feeling to have all the big vendor decisions out of the way...now after the holidays I'll be back on the planning and start focusing on more of the details and start the ordering up of everything else we will need. Also all of our appointments will be starting in full force in 2008...counseling sessions should be starting in January or February and then January 12th we have our in-studio engagement picture session...I'm siked!!
So in other news we leave for Key West on December 28th to spend New Years there...I can't wait...the break is much needed....and...it's the place where we got engaged!! So we're going with a bunch of friends but have planned to have a romantic dinner at the restaurant where Chris proposed!! I keep telling him he needs to replay the evening that we got engaged because I was so happy, overwhelmed etc. that I almost feel like the whole proposal was a blur...my brain couldn't keep up with what was happening...lol. Well off I go...back to work...I will write again probably next week and if not then in the new year!
