So, since this is my first blog, please forgive me for my ranting, raving, anger, and frustration. However, with wedding planning in the mix, those elements may be incorporated several times throughout the next 10 months.
So to give some information about myself, I have recently got engaged, as of 3 days ago. We aren't the traditional mushy, gushy couple, so the proposal was simple and fun. My fiance (that's fun to say) and I are living in the Lower Mainland, but the wedding will take place in Fort St. John, which, if you know your geography, is significantly far away on August 21, 2010. My parents are down for the weekend, so the planning is underway.
I have been planning this day for about the last 13 years, but I'm only 18. Go figure. So before the proposal, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, BUT now I have no idea where to start. I guess I've got ten months, but from what I'm told that goes by rather quickly.
My mom is a genius when it comes to hosting events, decorating for them, and all in all, keeping me sane. My future in-laws are also incredibly helpful, and doing a great job of keeping me stress-free.... for now.
So anyways, on to my first overwhelming experience. My first day of shopping was yesterday, and to my dismay, much more chaotic then what I expected. Mind you, to the average person it wasn't wild at all, but my mind was turning approximately at 1,000,000 km/h. We were very successful in choosing what was priority, which turned out to be my mother's attire and invitation supplies. So I guess you could say, we are a bit unorganized for now, but hopefully, things will come together!!
Feel free to add any helpful suggestions!
