Drumroll, please. We are in week #6 of our engagement. You can read my engagement story here.
I have made headway on a lot of projects. I have one more week to work on things and then I will put my wedding on hold in order to help with my sister’s wedding on August 4th.
Of course I have only been engaged a few weeks but I am starting to understand why brides I have worked with in the past have such a hard time planning their weddings.
My philosophy so far has been: Make a decision and then move on. No changing of my mind or doubting myself. It’s just a wedding. No dumb wedding detail gone awry will ruin my marriage. :) Unless of course, I am so tired when I show up for the wedding that I marry the wrong person by mistake. A mistake like that might ruin my marriage. I will need to warn my bridesmaid to check me for delirium before the ceremony.
I have found a lot of free resources with wedding help that I will be sharing soon.
