Hi ladies! I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Amanda and I'm a 2/14 bride. We've recently set a date after considering pretty much every month possible, lol. It was finally decided when we learned that his grandparents met and then later were married on that day. We also started dating on 2/14. They had a long happy marriage, so we figured that had to be good luck.
I'm kind of freaking out since it's coming up in 6 months and I'm just getting started with everything. I've got a lot to do!
A little about me, I've been married once before. That was short lived (1 and a half years). Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed that I am divorced, but I am thankful for everything that I learned from that experience about myself, relationships, and what I want out of life. It's also pretty helpful for planning this wedding. FI has never been married before. He's a great guy, and I'm super excited to be his wife.
Right now I'm trying to figure out the guest list so I can get started on making save the dates. I was wondering if I could get some advice from you ladies on guest list things. Pretty much all of my friends are my co-workers. However, I don't hang out with all of my co-workers. I'm not sure what to do about invites. It would be awkward to invite half the department. I can't invite the whole department because there are two people I would rather die than have come to my wedding. One is my boss and he's super creepy and makes my skin crawl every time I see him. The other I once wanted to date and have since learned how dumb that would be. FI would probably punch him if he came to the wedding. I'm not sure how to invite my friends but not my boss and my other co-worker and make it not awkward at work. What would you guys do?
If you want to get to know me more, feel free to ask me anything!
