Wedding Planning Blog

I've created a blog for the wedding planning part of my life (which is pretty much my whole life) and will be updating it, hopefully, a lot more regularly. It's still a work in progress, but I will be adding new things mostly-daily. If you'd like to have a look, and add it to your list, please do.

And we also have a new link to our regular wedding website.

So, yeah...that happened.

A lot has happened since September 10, 2009. And guess what, a lot is going to change around here.

There's no way in this day and age, 50 million years (mentally and emotionally at least) after my last post, that I can keep this blog in any sort of formal standard schedule. It just can't happen. At least not until October 16, 2010 at the earliest.

Getting engaged and planning a wedding does some messed up things to your brain, one of which is to make you think of your wedding pretty much non-stop. It's just there, always, in the front of your brain. Every single decision brings up the question, "How will this affect the wedding?" Every conversation has the potential to end in, "So, yeah, then they told me the color was discontinued! Can you believe that?" and that's the point when all of your friends stop listening and their ears shut off, I'm sure.

I never thought in a million years that I would understand someone being a bridezilla. When planning a wedding, the term gets a lot closer to heart and you start to feel for those girls. I can see how things get that bad. I fear for myself and my family and friends that I will get that bad. I hope that I don't.

Picture Pages - My Earliest Memory

Just a few notes of interest for this photo:

1. This photo possibly represents my earliest conscious memory. I remember them shoving cake into each other's mouths. I'm pretty sure that's a true memory.

2. I was 3 in 1980, which is the year this photo was taken. My Aunt Becky (left) was around 19 or 20. I'm not sure how old Brian (right) was, but I'd guess maybe 22 at most.

3. That's my Grandma in the middle. This photo was taken in her kitchen, during Brian and Becky's wedding reception.

4. I remember that wallpaper and those curtains. I even remember the curtains in the enclosed back porch - through the door, behind Grandma. And, I just have to mention it again - that wallpaper!!! - that wallpaper is epic.

5. I still know the number that would make that big black phone on the wall ring. I've called it a few times in the past 12 years. Someone else answers it now.

6. One of the other, most vivid memories of my life, was in that same room. It was a Saturday in the mid 90s, and my parents and I were there for our Saturday visit. The phone rang, and we found out that Brian had died. He was my uncle by marriage, and that marriage had ended a few years before, but he was still a part of our family. He was my cousin Kristen's dad, and we all loved him. RIP Brian.
