Stressed Out!

Okay so stress is nothing new, but I am just at my max right now. So much to do. We finally booked the venue, we are going to work with Tresca on 8th, which is nice because we will have access to an actual planner to help map out all the details. 

I also have plans to meet with Linda from Love is in the Air and Michael from Lynchburg Catering. I spoke with Tessa from Blondie's Catering and I heard they did a really nice job catering, I just don't know how expensive any of them are. I know food is important, but I don't want it to cost an arm and leg.

We also found out some really bad news this week, which I am struggling with, but I keep praying and maybe everything will be okay. So much going on, but at least I still have 6 more months to lose weight and have a fantastic wedding.

Can I just say throughout the whole thing Travis has been amazing and patient and loving. I can't believe how lucky I am to marry the most perfect man for me. I started looking at wedding songs for mine and Travis' first dance, any good suggestions? 

Venue - Check!
Photography - Check!
Everything else... not even close! haha. Wish us luck! 

On a happy note.. tomorrow is Friday and then I get to spend three days with the love of my life!!!!

Is there really this much to a wedding???

Wow! I think that is about all I can say about wedding planning. I think I would really enjoy this if I did it everyday and it wasn't my own wedding, and my own money. Haha.

So far I have contacted several venues, several caterers, and even a couple of photographers. I am trying to get the budget set before we book everything, so I know how much I have to work this summer. Right now, it seems like a lot!!!

I find myself wanting to do more and more wedding planning than anything else. I really enjoy looking at the different venues and contacting people about the best deals.

But

I am always open to advice! So if you have any let me know. Let me know what you did and why your wedding was so special.

Right now we have selected a preferred date: December 1, 2012. Colors: Navy Blue and Silver. and thats it... haha.
We have also discussed family sizes and how I have tons and tons of family and Travis has seriously like 40 people. Its really lop-sided.

I'm meeting with Travis's mom, Momma Wanda, and Travis's Aunt and Travis on Saturday to discuss sites and numbers and options. So much wedding stuff, I can't believe I am getting married in less than 7 months. A day exactly less than 7 months. Can't believe Travis has been with me the whole time discussing the wedding stuff so far... I am most definitely one of the luckiest ones I know!!!

More wedding stuff to come when I figure more stuff out! Next appointment is Friday to tour a venue at Glencliff Manor! OH - I almost forgot! I booked my first wedding dress consultation!! Yay! So excited! Wish me luck!
