This year is a big one for me. I turned 35, we will move to a much bigger place, my parents are moving down here, oh and I'm getting married to the man I love. So in preparation for my nuptials I have done..... absolutely nothing!!!!
I just realized the wedding is in 6 months, and while chapel, and venue are selected, that's pretty much all I've done. I haven't sent out invitations, made a seating chart, chosen music, flowers, or even dress. I know what I want, but haven't done a thing to get it done. Now it's time to hustle and get started on those preparations. Hey better late than never, or so they say.
The place I chose for the ceremony is the Chapel Dulcenea. A beautiful little place whose name has special meaning to me, since Don Quixote is one of the first stories I remember my dad reading to me. The chapel has one of those views that allows one to marvel at God's greatness, that he can create such beauty. It is the perfect place for us to get married, a simple place filled with the wonder of God.
Now I am looking through countless invitation samples, ready to chose the one that will invite those we love to witness our union. I will do that this weekend. However, that now leaves the question of exactly who is coming to this shindig, in other words a guest list must be made. We don't want anything big, just those closest and dearest to us. Then there's the question of who could actually make it, seeing as how almost everyone we hold dear is in New York. Just thinking about this as I am writing, is making me want to pull out my hair. Having a wedding on a budget, where you are the bride and the wedding planner is not easy, it's downright maddening. Specially to someone who could usually give two shits about seating arrangements or flowers.
Once the invitations are sent, it will be time to deal with décor, centerpieces, the dreaded flowers (found a way around that!), and the dress. After scouring the internet, I have more or less narrowed down how I want things to look. Now all I have to do is actually make it happen. This should be interesting to watch.
