I'm just starting to really plan, I haven't let myself until now because things have not been as... definite and imminent feeling as they have been in the past 2 weeks. I also think we might get married in May 2012 but that he won't ask me until Aug/Sept-ish and I would really like a full year to plan. And then my last reason is that I will be unemployed this summer for the last time (hopefully) in my working life so what better time than to plan a wedding?!
my mister has been encouraging me to plan. lol. he knows i enjoy planning anyway and that i'll eventually bore myself and will take a break so why not. lol. but he's also been giving me new resources to check out and use and asks that i send him any updated notes so he can stay up to date. plus, he gives his opinion when i ask. such an enabler, that one.
He helps me plan little things by giving his ideas and compromising on mine (: We've already written the ceremony and planned a lot of the little things. I hadn't told anyone but weddingbee about planning our ceremony until today when I let it slip to my bestfriend.
I used to do the same thing...it's nice to gather ideas beforehand....
I would just like to tell you that I'm now singing Brittany Spears to myself. DH is not happy.
I totally planned the wedding also last summer when I had nothing to do. I was talking to SO about the cermony venue I want. It books up really quickly so could we book it like a year and a half in advance. He said it would be a go as long as he liked the place.
I didn't get a chance to talk to him tonight. Maybe tomorrow night. At least I find that I come around to the same conclusions/ideas over time. I started obsessing about this about this time last year. Now I'm off work for 3 wks due to surgery, the wheels they are turning again!
Probably the one thing I've changed my mind about is that I would rent a dress, not buy one.

I've only looked at a lot of stuff and gotten ideas. I haven't bought or booked anything yet though I'm waiting until the ring is on my finger for that to happen. BF likes seeing me so excited about planning and getting ideas. So he's happy as long as I'm happy and he isn't freaked out at all.

I say plan away chicklet!!
Something that I had never really thought to mention to my FI when I was "waiting" was that prices increase year over year... but he quickly learned that once we did get engaged and started to look at vendors for 2011 (the venues we wanted had no available dates which pushed us back to 2012)... I'm pretty sure we're spending a good $3-4K more just on the reception site alone.
@mermaideve: this is my time of year to obsess too. i think it has something to do with wedding season/spring fever, even though we want to get married in october. but i remember i was crazy about it this time last year too. i stopped for a good while and now here we are again :) i wish he'd hurry up!
I want to apologize for all the duplicate posts. I'm not sure how they happened. I am looking forward to discussing some wedding related stuff with him tonight.OMG, if we got married when he was mentioning, it's less than 4 months til the day! Okay, getting ahead of myself again...
@kayely88: that's how my mister feels. i always ask him if its okay for me to be researching ideas now and he says that since he knows he wants to marry it, why wouldn't he be okay with it?
Arrrgh. Talked to him last night, he said it wasn't the right time to have this discussion (about wedding/being married). In his defense, we had just had an exhaustive discussion about his parents' failing health, they are very elderly.
So I wait...I think he said we could wait until I heal from my hand surgery? Not clear on that. Will check in with him tonight.
Mostly I do it in secret, but I spill to my Mum sometimes.
I haven't actually booked or bought anything, but I have my non-pregnant dress, pregnant dress, location, date, shoes, and jewlery picked.
Thanks for your comments, ladies. I will attempt to make today NOT be about wedding thoughts!
I will admit that I have lots of ideas about the wedding. But, in my defence, he's the one who will bring it up a lot of the time. When we were in a LDR and I would be upset that he wasn't around, he would ask me my opinion on something like what flowers we should have at our wedding. Now, keep in mind this was a full two years ago and I still have quite some time before the proposal!
I don't think he realizes how once he got these ideas into my head, they're just so hard to get rid of!

Planned our entire wedding day in an afternoon. Without a proposal. We were talking about different ideas if we get married, and he said something about having the reception at his folks' 4th of July weekend.
I didn't tell him how very much I would NOT want to have it in their yard. He told me he wasn't making plans, just throwing out ideas. There is a beautiful reception site down the road from his folks. I just called and they are available on July 3rd and 4th. It could be a casual fancy party. It's a hardwood floor teahouse that looks out on the pacific ocean.
I told Mr. Mermaid last night that I've started analyzing why I am so attached to certain parts of the wedding/ceremony thing. He said he thought that was good to do, to find out what's really important.
I also found the wedding dress rental business whose name I could NOT remember; only $150 to rent a beautiful gown.
Blah, blah, blah...:)
