Admit Two: A Wedding Blog

A question was asked and answered and I had a new piece of jewelry, a new label and a new roommate.

We’ve been engaged and living together just about 6 months now. Wedding planning has not exactly been a hit the ground running extravaganza of activities. Yet. We’re very slowly easing into it all.

There’s no date set. We’ve just been settling into living together and coexistance over the last half a year. However, with the holiday season approaching and some of the work crazy hopefully starting to settle down soon (PLEASE!) I’m hoping to get back into the habit of at least scouring for inspiration and actually considering maybe forming something that looks a lot like a plan.

I admit, last winter even before we were engaged I had a bunch of free time and scoured around and roughly outlined my grand ideas for wedding insanity.

 The main procrastination has been physical, I’d like to lose a notable amount of weight before I pay someone a fortune to capture photos of me in all my wedded glory and I’ve not exactly been focussing on that effort. 

So, I’m roughly aiming towards us eventually setting a  2011ish summertime date.  I’ve got a rough outline of what I want the day to entail and who I want involved. We’ve had little brief discussions here and there and I think he’s on board with many of my ideas.

I’m sort of like a rubberband that’s stretched and waiting to snap, I’m almost ready to leave the inspiration stage and start heading down the actual planning path, I just have a few more hurdles to cross before we are there.

Of course, the inspiration phase is a great place to hover too. Wedding blogs are so much fun to scour, and I have a few ideas I haven’t seen executed by others yet that I want to hold onto as my own. I’m really hoping to be uber DIY, and with all the extra time of a 2-3 year engagement, I think I should be able to pull off a lot of projects. I’m just not quite ready to start just yet.

I’m hoping to use this blog (as a side project from my main blog which I’ve been sorely sorely neglecting) as a sounding board for my ideas, a venting spot for my frustrations and an all around gathering spot for the thought process and plans as things start to come together into an actual wedding day sometime in our future.
