Our Final Decision (Kinda Long)

TysWife2Be

Hey ladies!

This past weekend I broke down due to all of the stress that I have been dealing with. I didnt think my break from TK would be this short but over the past few days, we have come to a final decision.

After much thought and consideration, we have decided to go for a Spring 2011 wedding...it works out better that way for us. FI just opened a restaurant, the babys birthday party is next month, my brother is going to prom and graduation, all in addition to daily life. As much as I was pushing for 10-10-10, it is something that no longer seems doable.

In the end, the wedding may have been what was skimped on and that is NOT what we want.

We still want to have our dream wedding and changing the date will give us a whole new playing field. More venues will be available, the felxibility of the date is there, etc.

In the end, although 10-10-10 we will have been together for 10 years a 10 months, the date is NOT what is going to matter. What matters is that I am marrying my soulmate.

In addition to less stress, we will be able to save more money for the wedding and ENJOY the process. The process should NOT feel like it is a chore!

I have started a blog (now in my siggy) and would like for you ladies to check it out.

So I am BACK!!! WOO HOO!!!

I feel like a burden has been lifted off of my shoulder...thats for sure!

Sounds like it was the best decision for you.  Spring weddings are so beautiful.  Hopefully you will find exactly the venue you want because I know that was one of your struggles.  Can't wait to see it all come together!!! GL!

As someone who changed the plan three times, I can totally relate. I think that it sounds like a great decision. As stressful as this can be, you do need to enjoy this process.

Spring weddings are awesome. Good luck.

That's awesome!  I am so glad that you found a way to take some of the stress out of your life.

I got to your original message late, and was sad to see you were so stressed.

If this is the decision you and your loving Fi came to, then it is the right one.  Especially if it makes things less stressful on you!  Now you can sit back and enjoy these family events coming up and wedding plan later!

I'm happy for you!

Yay so happy you are happy!

Sounds like it is a good decision!  You will be much happier with less stress and when you can focus on the wedding more!

I think you made the right choice.  But hey, if you do 11-11-11, then you'd have been together 11 years and 11 months, right?

That's great! No date is worth the stress.

I am so glad you guys talked it over.  You know, I had to postpone my big day due to the loss of my job and it has worked out just fine!  I know you will have a wonderful wedding and this just give you more time to go over the details.  Like you said--you should enjoy the planning not have it feel like a chore!

Seems like the perfect solution!  Definitely want to enjoy the process =]
GL and happy planning!

That is GREAT!!! If this is what both of you truly want.... Congrats! I sometimes wish I could of pushed the wedding a bit farther like October, November, even December. 

Spring Weddings are truly beautiful! I can't wait to see!

I thnk that whatever decision makes you feel relieved and less stress, the better!  I have had a thing for Sept. 2010, and I just got engaged in March.  So I've been really busy/stressed over planning for something only 5 months away.  I have had to rule out going to Hawaii (which was my first choice) for various reasons- which one can imagine. But my fiance and I decided we could still do a vow ceremony over there, just the two of us, when the time is right.  (Maybe on our honeymoon).
My thought is- and I LOVE the 10-10-10 date for what it means to you as well is- can you guys have a small ceremony on that date?  Maybe just the two of you and baby, and/or  a handfull of family/frineds?  That way you can oficially have 10-10-10 as your wedding date, and then later have the bigger wedding?

I think spring weddings are beautiful. We are planning our 10.10.10 wedding and the stress and finances are a lot. The only way we are handling it is because we only wanted 25-30 people (FI and I are not into big crowds); but I am doing most of it alone and I am also stressed. The date is not the most important- your special day is! Good luck to you!
