bride-to-be

with 250 days to go, these are the things i am loving about wedding planning:

~exercising my imagination and creativity for something other than work.

~sharing ideas with my hub-guy to be.

~peonies: i never knew i could like a flower so much.

~spouting off contradictory words of inspiration and having people actually understand me.

~laughing at really cheesy sounding bands.

~finding my dress: i knew it was the one when i came out of the dressing room, looked at my mom and we both started to cry. i will never forget that moment…

let the planning begin

bride-to-be, love

wedding color inspirationit’s been just over a week since RJ and I have been engaged and we’re still over the moon…

we were so thrilled and amazed by the outpouring of love and support from our family and friends. thank you! what an exciting time! i had no idea that being engaged could bring us even closer together. we’ve begun to try out the word ‘fiance’, but we’re not sold on it yet. maybe we’ll get used to it?

we have also begun to think about our wedding day and are hoping to hold it sometime in late Spring 2010. you will be able to check back here for musings on my experience as a bride-to-be. so far we’ve researched locations (which is so hard in Los Angeles ~ i don’t know how people do it) and i’m beginning to scout them out. i’ve zeroed in on a possible color palette, asked some of my married friends a bunch of questions & looked at over 1000 gown photos online. luckily, my taste is consistent.

we’ve thought about honeymoon destinations, looked into a band (also rough in LA), brainstormed favors, enlisted my amazingly creative mom to help with planning and decided against an engagement party. i’ve also begun to entice my amazing friends kim and adam of la vie photography with the possibility of being our photographers for the day.

so, as you can see, the early planning is already well underway. and at the moment i’m still having fun…
