anniversary

today is our one year "engagement anniversary". you better believe i make josh celebrate all these important holidays. we also celebrate my half birthday, 'cause i'm 5.



here's a breakdown of the past year of wedding planning. in reality most of this has been crammed into the past 2 months, including arranging a pastor.

things i did:

• venue
• band
• save the dates (with josh's help)
• pick a color scheme (and then abandon it)
• shoes (probably my most favorite part)
• invites
• bm dresses (well sorta, i gave vague instructions)
• make a registry (kind of fun, but kind of boring. i mean, one can only get so excited about towels)

things my parents did (mom mostly, some pops):

• photographer
• caterer
• dress
• preacher
• violinist
• centerpieces
• bouquets, boutonnières, etc.
• ceremony decor
• cake
• dinner menu
• programs
• water bottles
• designate who my moh is (haha. i think i would've been allowed to change it, but it's fine)

things josh did:

• honeymoon arrangements
• groom & gmen attire (still in progress)
• general schedule outline of ceremony/reception
• get the band squared away

i know - you want to hire me as your own wedding planner! i just didn't have a preference about most of it - i mean, flowers, whatever. the parts i actually had an opinion about, i took care of. well, the cake i had an opinion about but it got overridden. the band was a 4-person band but told josh last week "by the way there's only 2 of us now". wonderful. i love my shoes, you'll see them soon.

the countdown is getting smaller!
