Today’s Date: August 20th.. What’s this mean? =) THIS MEANS I AM MARRYING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IN ONE YEAR FROM TODAY!!! haha sorry, I just had to get that out. I’m sure you ladies know how it feels! My fiance and I got engaged in March of this year…it’s strange to think we’ve been engaged for 6 months as of next month, ya know? On some days, the wedding seems soo far away… that is, until I realize 1) just how much planning we need to do and 2) just how fast the last 6 months have gone! ahh! haha. OH WELL! The planning will get done somehow.. I’m already a full-time student with a job.. I’ll only be in 5 classes, preparing for my student show, and student teaching over the next year.. Why not throw in planning a wedding! It can’t be that hard….
……
Those last few statements were sarcastic.. =) haha.. It’s going to be a heck of a year.. I’ll probably go crazy.. But, in the end, it’ll be worth it! I just keep telling myself I could be in an even more hectic situation!

@aberry: Planning’s goin’ pretty well all things considered. I spent this summer living with him and we knew we needed to take advantage of the time we had together to get the major planning done (We’re currently living in two different states.. we met at college but he got into grad school so he is off doing that while I finish up my undergrad degree elsewhere.. 8 hour drive between our schools). We’ve…
booked: ceremony location, reception hall, photographer, DJ. We’ve purchased: my dress, my wedding band, my veil/headband. We’ve gotten: Engagement pictures taken. We’ve created/ordered: Save the Dates (I know it’s early but couldn’t pass up on a good deal). We’ve decided on: who will be Bridesmaids (color and dresses), who will be Groomsmen, buying (in comparison to renting) a projector for the reception. & We are currently working on: refining the guest list and looking into tuxes (well.. he’s SUPPOSED to be doing this, but I can’t say he is for sure.. haha)
I honestly feel like I’m forgetting something.. but you get the point I think 🙂 How’s planning going for you?
