I've been engaged for 6 months and in that time I have set a date for the wedding, chosen a venue, chosen my wedding party, contracted an invitation designer and figured out who is going to do my hair. The date is 405 days away and I am way behind on most things. Ideally, every last detail would have been planned and finalized yesterday, but I figured that I would take my time and attempt to enjoy a few things. SARCASM!
Is it possible to plan a large wedding and enjoy yourself at the same time? Does anyone else think that half of the "traditional" wedding customs are totally retarded? Maybe I'm crazy, (and it is quite possible) but if one more person looks at me like I have tits growing out of my forehead when I tell them that I haven't chosen the colors yet, I am going to give them a crabby patty.
I understand that everyone gets excited about weddings and wants to offer wisdom about what was fucked up in their own wedding and perhaps, momentarily think back to their own wedding, which is quite possibly the only time they had a "happy marriage." The only thing that pisses me off are the reactions that I get when I give answers that aren't satisfactory to the person that asked them. My favorite is when people tell me that I don't seem to be too excited about the wedding when the reality is that I'm just not excited to be listening to the bullshit coming out of their mouths.
It felt good to get that off of my chest. Let's back up for a moment. I am beyond thrilled to be engaged. I can't wait to get married. I think that the day of the wedding might be the best day of my life (unless I get picked to be on Wheel of Fortune, ofcourse).
That being said, I have decided to blog about the wedding planning process. There are several reasons for this:
- I haven't been blogging recently
- I think it has the potential to be really funny
- It will give everyone the opportunity to immerse themselves in every detail of the wedding (which will hopefully cut down on face time)
- It will be a place for me to get out frustrations so I don't go ape-shit and turn in to some psycho bridezilla
Contrary to popular belief, I have looked in to and have ideas for almost every aspect of the wedding. I have a wedding website which is in its infant stages and should hopefully be launched soon.
Let's recap the items which are complete:
Groom- A.J.
Date- 9/4/11
Venue- Spring Mill Manor (which incldues ceremony, reception, food, cake, and ice luge for shots)
Wedding Party- Korynn, my sisters and Mandy
Invitation Designer- Uncle
Hair Stylist- Skip
Colors- some kind of blue and some kind of orange/pink
All questions/comments about any of the items mentioned above can be directed to my fabulous fiancé. He is more than happy to discuss anything wedding related.
Alright that should do it for now, I'm off to the gym so that I can lose some weight. As my lovely grandfather said (while grabbing my love-handles), "You better lose some weight if you want to fit into a wedding dress." Aren't old people cute??

Uncle has your back.
if you guys have good music and drinks, everyone will have a good time. And no matter what colors you pick or when, or anything like that, it will be your WEDDING DAY (which is crazy to think, too, but honestly how much do colors or hair or food or flowers really mean when on the day you will wake up a single lady and you'll go to bed with a husband)!
as for the gym, good for you, but you'll look gorgeous no matter what!
