This is his first wedding, my second. He is more excited than I am. He wants to make sure I have a great time. Make it my day, my first wedding was so fast I dont even remember it.. Barely Justice of the peace.. blah blah blah. We met 20 years ago lost touch reunited two years ago. He believes God has a bigger plan for us, he tells me every day he falls in love with me all over again. I love this man, He asked for my hand in marriage(yes he went there, asked my parents).
I am not use to a man loving me the way he does. God has truly blessed me and I can not wait to marry him.
Re: Hi... Going Crazy!!!
Many of us were young and foolish the first time around. It's great to be older and wiser, eh? well... wiser at least.
I dont even know how to plan for a wedding, where to start. I get overwhelmed, I start to cry. i dont know what colors to pick.
I feel so lost.
Good luck, and congrats. Post questions here anytime!

Don't worry there are plenty of resources on the internet to help you.
I have loved using weddingwire.com. They have an extensive checklist to follow.
From the day you get engaged, until the wedding day they have all of your to do listed month by month. I just follow the list and do things month by month.
I love all the tools. Familiarize yourself with it the planning site and when you get to the end of the planning you will see how all the tools work together and are interactive. I love the guestlist tool and seating tool.
Planning a wedding can be a very scary daunting task for anyone.
Just start with a good planning site, and don't worry about the small stuff. Don't worry about color scheme, that will depend on your season, and venue.
There is plenty of help out there for color scheme. You don't even have to have one as the pp stated!!!!!
Best of luck to you and congrats on finding your prince.
I think I have been watching too much of the wedding channel that is the reason why I am stressed out.
Budget????????? dont even know where to begin.

Budget; here's how we set ours, we decided that the rings were our individual costs (he paid for mine, I paid for his and his daughter's). The actual ceremony, the cothes,flowers etc we are sharing the costs. We set our budget based on what we each could comfortably create our wedding account with and if there is anything left over that will go toward our honeymoon. So the game is to come in under budget which I'm hoping to do with the DIY projects that we have and keeping my dress costs down.
Your venue will want a date and rough guest count so that can tell you if they can accommodate you. Your colors can either be a combination of your favorite colors. or your venue may have some lovely colors that you may want to incorporate.
the food will be a combo of our heritage.. Me being from puertorican and hm being from the caribbean as well.
He wants to right his own vows which leaves me thinking should I write mine.
You guys are great.. thanks for keeping me sane.
We picked out the colors to be Sage Green w/ silver .... So far we have 150 people on our list and it will stop there. Our bridal party has 10 people in it. Remember this is his first wedding my second.. do you understand now why I am so stressed.
