Lean Mean Wedding Planning Machine...


That's right folks. If you just chanced upon my blog or are secretly stalking me and don't know me too well, I'm a planner and a doer. I suffer from anxiety and can't rest until things are handled, which in the case of a wedding that's 8 months away, may be difficult. Don't hyperventilate on my behalf though, we're gettin'er done.

In the 3 weeks since our engagement, Mark and I have picked a date (9.10.11), booked a venue for the ceremony and reception, picked out our menu (with the exception of hors d'oeuvres which we'll pick next month and cake which we still have to taste), booked a photographer (the amazing Francis Joseph who will be flying out from Austin, TX), started our wedding website, found a dress (I think -ordering it today), picked out a color scheme (girls in various shades of purple, guys in grey suits), decided on flowers, and a couple of other things...

The alternative was sleepless nights or xanax, neither of which is a good long term solution. So there you have it. This process is surprisingly fun once you handle some of the bigger pieces. This weekend we will hopefully create our save the dates and perhaps even begin registering...
