So I have just begun asking my friends to be in the BP and asked the first person last night. After literally weeks of pondering how I should do it and making myself crazy with ideas of going back through old photo albums / scanning old pictures / creating a mini photobook / writing a poem / doing something "creative" I decided simplest is best. (This coincides with my new mantra of eliminating all crazy-making ideas / plans etc from my wedding-planning process and elminating unecessary sources of potential stress).We were out to dinner - just the two of us - and I just asked her. Plain and simple. There was plenty of excitement and hugging that ensued, regardless.Everyone was right on here - the honor / sentiment is really in the asking itself - you do not need to stress yourself over additional details like cards / treasure hunts / photo collages / skywritten messages. ;-) (Ok, being a little dramatic on the last one there, but you get my point).
The Bump ate my signature.
