An Update - long time since last post

Okay…so it’s been a while since my last post. All I can say is that starting a new job and planning a wedding simultaneously takes a lot of time!!! Fall is a really busy time for my job, right around the time that school starts. Hopefully things will calm down soon.

We’re using a very valuable tool to help plan the wedding. It’s a website called “The Knot”. I’d recommend it to anyone who is planning a wedding. It’s the best! There is a checklist and everything!

So far for the wedding preparation we have:

Booked the site
Confirmed an officiant
Purchased my dress & shoes
Chosen colors (fall colors concentrating on red/green/orange)
Decided on a dress theme for the bridesmaids (They will be wearing black dresses of their own choice and drape a pashmina around their arms/shoulders.)
Purchased Parry’s suit
Picked out vests for the groomsmen
Registered for gifts
Purchased the rings
Decided on a honeymoon destination
Contacted a photographer
Sent the invitation design to the printers (I put something together on my computer and they will print it for us-we’re a couple weeks behind on this part.)
Purchased stuff to make centerpieces (just yesterday!)


There is still so much to do!!! We had been at kind of a stand still for the last couple of weeks with my job and spending time with our friends, the Matson’s, before they left for Ohio. But this weekend we got a few things done, so that’s good.

Sometimes I catch myself getting caught up in the stress of planning the wedding…making sure that everyone is pleased with the decisions and getting everything put together. Then I’ll stop and remember that this is the start of Parry and my life together…what a wonderful thing!
