I guess you could consider this my second go around at planning our wedding. Originally, we were planning a Minnesota wedding in Sept 2009. A year into planning that, life happened so we decided to have a destination wedding in Hawaii. Exciting, yes. A lot of work to plan, yes. I'm a bit of a control freak. And I get nervous about not actually seeing something before I book it, like venues.
So a few weeks after deciding on Hawaii the economy crashed, and a few weeks after that I was informed that the company I work for will be closing in June due to budget cuts. Great, we can bail out Wall Street execs who have everything but have to cut back on mental health funding for those who have almost nothing...? But I digress... With all this stress and frustration, the wedding got put off to 2010 (still in Hawaii, got people excited about it), and we took a 6 month sabbatical from wedding planning. Probably a good thing, and frankly I was bored with weddings at the time.
Now here we are. A few random posts on theknot got my attention for various things, so planning started again. Even with my looming unemployment and the unending economic doom and gloom, it's time to either do this or scrap the whole idea and do a JOP and dinner at a nice restaurant by ourselves. Definately not what I would like, but we're still married in the end and that's what's important.
(hopefully I stick with this blog, I have a tendency to start things and never finish or maintain them. if I quit updating and anybody cares, feel free to email me.)
