So tomorrow will be one week that MB and I have been engaged, yes folks I'm getting married. It's been a very fast three months, but I wouldn't change anything that has happened; the good and the bad, I'll take it all. I know people are judging us because our engagement will be longer than our "dating" relationship, but to each his own.. right?
I wouldn't want my life any different than it is right now, well other than I would like to have my nursing license already, and for this semester to be over with, it just hasn't been a good one. I go today to start the search for my perfect wedding dress, keep in mind our wedding isn't until June 2013, thanks very kindly to the ARMY keeping my brother busy for the next two years, but MB and I are willing to wait even if it means a two year engagement.
We started making a guest list, of course it can change any day but we haven't even gotten to his family and we already have 97 people, can you say a wedding of 200..that's enough to stress me out right there and of course when I ask for a courthouse wedding and a small reception, I'm met with a firm "NO." Trying to find a place that can hold that many people but isn't going to cost us $100 a plate is going to be fun because there is no way we are spending $20,000 on a wedding, I'll take that for a down payment on a house, thanks.
Where do you draw the line as to who to invite to your wedding, I mean yeah it's supposed to be about you but at the same time there is family you don't talk to ever but expects to be invited, family friends, friends of parents and then you haven't even gotten to your own friends. Should you have to sacrifice your friends so that your parents friends can come and celebrate your day with you, what if you've never even met these friends.
Wedding planning is hard, especially when there are so many things that can affect the guest list, in the end you have to remember it's your day but honestly that is hard.
