When I look back and realize it's only been one month since Matt proposed it seems unreal. In that month I have booked two different venues, bought my dress, found my centerpieces, got the food and drinks taken care of, booked a DJ, picked out my bridesmaids dresses, a flower girl dress, ordered save the dates, found invitations, planned the honeymoon, and had my dream engagement ring custom made. I'm a girl who knows what she wants and I've been super busy! :) Thank God for wonderful friends because I would have not been able to do all this without some team work...esp from Hannah who I probably ask 100 questions a day, lol.
If you know me very well at all you know that when I have something to do I dive in full force until it is finished and then I relax...be it my house, school, work, etc. It usually consumes my mind and I cannot rest until it is accomplished. That can be a great attribute of mine or a problematic one. My plan is to have the wedding all planned in about 3 months and to spend the next 5 months relaxing and thinking about how wonderful it will be. :)
After a little drama and finding out I could not have the wedding in St. Augustine, I have to say I am so thankful. Our new venue is perfect for what I wanted, much closer, a fraction of the price, and honestly, I just fell in love with it. I did spend a good 4-5 hours crying my eyes out on my office floor, but once I picked myself up and got back to work I realized that this is what was meant to be....and because I'm a big believer in buying yourself gifts, lol...with some of the money we'll be saving Matt and I found a jeweler to make my dream ring. :):) My smile could not be any bigger. It will be here hopefully next week.
Matt and I spent last Friday's date night exploring the venue and taking it all in. I had booked it without him seeing it first because I already knew he would love it. He has told me from day 1 that this is my day and he will do anything to make it happen the way that I want. Perfect thing to say as usual.
Sooo...It's going good. :)
