Wedding Planning

All my life I have thought about what my wedding would be like. It may have been kind of a weird thing to think about and informally 'plan' in your head growing up, before you are even engaged.

Some things I plan in my head all the time. Future house plans, baby names, nurseries, weddings, my next car...

Weird?

Well, the chapter of my current life book is on the wedding plans. It's a whole different ball game when you are actually engaged and actively planning your wedding. Decisions are hard. Way more hard than I thought they would be. I'm generally the planner person of my friends when it comes to shindigs and gatherings. It's easy. However, I turn in to this indecisive person when it comes to my own wedding. I think 10 months was just too long of an engagement for me to handle with all of the thoughts and planning. My gears have been turning for far too long.

Ideally, I would have had a four month engagement - max! Quick decisions would have probably helped me. Now, I'm stuck with tons of photo albums on my phone with hundreds of photos in each. Hair styles, jars, table decor, plate placement on the food table to put the dirty (well not dirty dirty) fork people use to scoop pulled pork. Weirdness! But it's thoughts that have to happen. I try to think "well, you can just decide at that moment." WRONG! I would be a mess. My type-A could not handle a plan for the dirty pork fork. (Those of you at my wedding, I want you to pay close attention to that fork and know that a lot of thought went into it - kidding).

Some people say the wedding planning process is stressful. I wouldn't really call it stressful. Decisionful. That is what I would call it. The only hiccup (stress) in this whole thing was really the DIY invitations. They posed a bit more hiccuping that I thought, but in the end  it all turned out (with a few extra trips to Staples, Kinkos and Office Max) but they turned out great and I was quite pleased.

You may wonder where the photos are for this post. Well, I've decided not to really reveal much about the actual wedding. I'm generally an open book about everything with my plans, but now I've decided as it gets closer to 'best day ever' to keep more things a surprise. There are things I'm planning that no one knows, not even Michael - it's pretty fun!
