Tyler and Katie's thoughts on planning a wedding
This morning I got an email from my youngest sister with her flight information for the wedding.
And it hit me. I'm really getting married in a little over four months.
Sure there's been preparation and planning. Since Tyler proposed in February we've reserved a venue, I bought my dress, virtual Save the Dates have been sent out...but everything still seemd so far away. No need to worry about schedules, vows, booking hotel rooms or coordinating flights since the big day wasn't until 2012.
With the days trickling out of 2011, March 2012 doesn't seem so far away.
I won't lie - moments of pressure surrounding the wedding are occuring a little more often than before. There are a lot of traditional notions Tyler and I are combating every day. The lack of a registry and working to keep the event small, with people that know us as a couple.
But there's a ton of fun little things that make wedding plan fun. I've been working on handmaking decorations, including my own bouquet. Tyler and I have started writing our vows, and I'm chosing the songs we'll dance to at the wedding. Yeah, I'm a big girl and I tear up a lot these days.
The most exciting part however, is involving friends and family in so many parts of the wedding. We're in talks with one of my former interns to shoot the wedding, another friend is designing our wedding invites. It's a whole community effort for A Storied Wedding.
Ready to party in 2012 =)
