Soooo, there is a lot more to planning a wedding than I thought. I thought, buy a pretty dress and tell people to come, get some food, say "I do," and TADA! You're married. Not so much.
I mean, you do need to do all those things... but then you have a list of a million other things to do, too. Also, finding a venue is the BIGGEST pain in the ass ever. I thought I'd just find a place that Philip and I both like and then go with it. Nah. That would be too easy. The nice venues want your first born child as payment for use of their building for 5 hours. Okay, that might be exaggerating a big, but still, they want WAY too much. And, that's just for the reception.
Philip and I are working on a budget... we'd like to still have plenty of money to do our honeymoon... in ITALY! :D Yeah, I'm stoked. haha
Anyway, we are getting married in Pennsylvania on September 24, 2011. Anything other than that, not too many details. I'm going to be wearing a pretty dress. My good family and friends will be there. It will be a joyous occasion. It will be perfect. That's all I really need to know. :)
As far as wedding party:
Maid of Honor: Tonya Marie Ketcham (my sister)
Bride's Maid: Aileen Thomson (my wife... or college friend)
Best Man: Richard Yost (Philip's best friend)
Groom's Man: ???
The groom's man has been determined, but Philip has been unable to reach him to ask him so far, so it's still up in the air right now. And, yes, we are only having 2 people each. It's going to be a small wedding... probably only about 50 people. :)
Our colors are going to be navy and white. I'm having a DIY wedding/reception. It should be fun... or at the very least, interesting! :)
