...wedding on the brain...

Let's just be honest. Pretty sure my productivity has just been reduced by half. I have wedding on the brain. It's a bit of a natural phenomenon. For instance, I have a birthday coming up and a co-worker brought these guys in this morning...


My first reaction? Not, "Oooh, yummy!" but, "Wow, those are cute! I wonder if the bakery has a website?! Maybe they could do the wedding cake!" Next thing you know, I'm scouring the interenet to look at cake pictures. Do you see how this is not a natural progression of thinking???

I'm that girl. Awesome. I do have a couple of things going for me:
a. DG, the future-fiance, is in event production, so he's just as into this as I am. (Ok, close.)

b. My best friend and MOH is in the thick of planning her very own matrimonial soiree to take place in October...so she's right there in the trenches with me.
Lucky for me, nobody is terribly annoyed by my constant interest in The Knot.
My head is a mess with the endless ideas and and possibilities. I'm realizing very quickly that I need to focus...and prioritize. We're still about nine months out, so DG and I have only just started to look into venues and try to finalize a budget. More to come on that! We're taking a quick little road trip this weekend, and I'm really hoping I come back with some rough figures of what we want to spend, how we'll come up with it, and how to make it STRETCH. So there it is. Goal one. Figure out the money.

Stay tuned.
