So I'm kind of jumping on your band wagon here... FI and I just up and decided, yesterday, that we're getting married on the 1st!! Holy moly!!
A little about us, we have been together for about 3 1/2 years now, known each other for about 7. We have one daughter who just turned a year old on Sunday and another on the way, due in June. We've been engaged since February of this year and started planning our June 2014 wedding in March... all the details are planned out but we decided to move it back indefinitely until we can really afford it without breaking the bank. We had absolutely no problem with staying unmarried, we still don't but something came over us and we decided we wanted to get married within the next couple months and I liked the idea of New Years Day! So the crazyness ensues...
A bit about our day, I've pretty much done all of our planning yesterday and today. It will be intimate, just our parents, blood grandparents, sibilings, and one of my aunts (and that's still 25 people!). I booked a venue today, it's absolutely beautiful and overlooks the lake in our hometown, and we're meeting on Monday to pick the menu. Yesterday I found and "booked" a judge to marry us on site. My grandmother is going to do photography, it's a hobby of hers and although she mainly does nature shots, she's amazing! My cousin makes the most beautiful real touch silk flower accesories for weddings, she actually has an Etsy shop that she does full time, so she's doing all our flowers. My bouqet is going to be white peonies (sp?) with white roseS and a few dark blue roses, the handle will be wrapped in dark blue silk and have 3 rhinestone "orbs" in a line down one side. Everything will match that. I'm making our cake, just a small 3 layer white chocolate round cake with silver,white and blue accents. I'm going dress shopping tonight with my FSIL and mom, I'm looking for something plain and simple, probably a-line... and I'm going to do a glitzy sash with a matching ribbon headband instead of a veil. FI will just wear black dress pants and a white shirt with a dark blue tie, no jacket. We won't be having and attendants... just very simple. It's all very exciting and crazy at the same time!!!!!
