Being a Bride-to-Be
by lauren on January 8, 2012
P&I have been engaged for about 7 weeks now, and I’m still waiting to get the feeling of excitement that is supposed to come along with planning the ‘biggest day of our lives.’
I guess it could be due to the fact that we haven’t put any money on it yet, and that the planned date is just under 17 months from now. Plus the fact that I’ve been in ‘saving’ mode for so long, the thought of spending so much on one day is a little daunting. Nevertheless, I can’t help but endlessly scour all the usual bride-to-be online hangouts like theknot.com and tirelessly read wedding related magazines and books. The more I surf, the more I feel like there are a million other little decisions about the day that start to get overwhelming. At the same time, I can’t wait to make it a wonderful and memorable event for everyone and of course, the most important decision (the one where P&I decided to tie the knot) has already been made.
Some official plans surrounding the wedding and our lives moving forward as a family have already been made. We’ve invited P’s parents to join us in Boston and Martha’s Vineyard this summer to participate in the wedding planning (most importantly, shopping for the all important wedding dress) and to arrange for both sets of parents to meet for the very first time. One more important thing, we’ve purchased our domain name for the wedding website, there’s nothing there yet, but soon there will be lots of info for our guests at celebrate.ie.
