Planning I

I have to find a dress. I have looked on the web a little and found one I am in love with. And hey-- it’s only $5,000.00! (I intend to keep looking). In reality I would rather spend that kind of extra money on our reception or honeymoon. I’m pretty ok with things if I don’t get a five thousand dollar gown. Aren’t I so reasonable!? I refuse to become Bridezilla.

Actually, my biggest problem is decision-making. I am pretty indecisive over a lot of things. Some things just don’t matter to me--they're not important to me and I don’t care. I want things to go smoothly, and I know what I don't want, but.... Don’t care what the table centerpieces look like at the reception—our reception venue’s beauty stands on its own so it won’t need a lot of embellishment. Don’t care what’s on the dinner menu (but do care that it’s pleasing for all or most guests). Don’t care what color my mother wears; just want her to feel comfortable and appropriately attired. Don’t care if we have a videographer. I’m fine with good old-fashioned photographs. (Although a friend pointed out to me this weekend that she and her husband LOVE their wedding video-- they relish the fact that they are able to share their wedding experience with their children, who did not come along for some years later)… Which is a great point…which leads to more indecision on my part…..

Stay tuned for more notes on the planning process. There is much to come....
