What gets me are the people who have gotten engaged recently and have just as much - or more - planned for their weddings that are just as far off as mine! Makes me feel like even more of a slacker. :)
My big thing lately has been to get organized. The wedding binder is looking good, budgeting spreadsheets have been laid out, checklists created and timelines drafted. I am in a good position. I just need to move forward!!
To feel a little better about what I have accomplished, I am going to do a little inventory.
Things I have to date:
- A date/time: September 18, 2010
- Ceremony site: Southland Christian Church (where we both grew up)
- Reception site: Keene Run Golf Club
- Caterer: DaRae and Friends
- Wedding Party: Check (sans a few of the ceremonial roles/ushers)
- Minister: Todd Tyler (close to Jacob and the Kelly's)
- Color scheme: emerald green, dark orange, white
- Photographer: Mary Lashbrook
Things I have ideas about:
- Invitations
- Programs
- Centerpieces
- Reception/ceremony decor
- Ceremony components
- My dress
- Wedding party attire
- Flowers
Goals to accomplish before Christmas 2009:
- Research and hire a DJ
- Research and hire a florist
- Make a decision about a cake and hire a baker
Also along the way, I have bought misc. items that we will need for the big day. Things like crafting supplies (bone folder, paper cutter, corner rounder), dessert serving set (super cute orange/green set from Pier One), dried grasses and berries for a centerpiece at the reception, etc.
The many ideas out there are a bit overwhelming...I think it is my fear that I will get the whole thing planned and then have some totally other ideas come into mind. And then what will I do??! I think the only thing is to make my decisions and stick with them...no matter what else may come up.
