Things are moving!

Well, the planning has begun. We're still looking for a location but the search is beginning to narrow down. I'm looking at invitations. I've found some that I love...the catch is that I have to make them! This is the link to them: Sewn Fabric Invitations. They are super cute. Of course I will use different fabric because I've decided on green and black for my colors. I finally found a piece of material yesterday that is the color green so I have an example when people ask. I know the invitations are going to be time consuming but they are really cute and I like them a lot! They will cost about as much as they would if I were to buy some at work so I figured I should get the ones I really want.

I also got my dress! I can't put pictures on here though because I don't want Jared to see it until the wedding day. I love it though! It is perfect!

My mom and I bought some of the stuff yesterday to start making my veil and to start working on the invitations. So that'll be fun! Making my veil is MUCH cheaper than buying one.

Things are starting to move and I'm having fun. I've decided there is no reason to worry or stress over this. I want to enjoy planning and making things. I want to be able to include people and make it a joint effort. I'm not too set on anything being a certain way so that keeps things flexible. I would just love to find a place!haha. It'll come I know: The Lord is faithful. (I'll start putting more picture on here when I start making stuff!)

Well, the stress has begun. I'm trying so hard not to but there's just so much stuff. I'm going to have to get a car soon which is just one more thing to pay for on top of school and now a wedding. I just don't know where the money is going to come from. I know the Lord will provide but it's just so hard to remember that in the midst of everything. I'm trying to find a reception and ceremony site still. Everything is just so expensive. I wish planning a wedding wasn't so difficult, but I want it to be special so I guess we'll figure it out. I just want to get the date set with all the places booked at least; it's easier said than done though. I know it's just going to be one thing after another from here on out so I guess I better just enjoy the ride. And it will be fun if I let it and I want it to be fun. I don't want it to be stressful; I always said I wouldn't have a stressful wedding so that's what will happen. I simply want the Lord to be glorified so if that happens then all else can just fall into place. Well, I just needed to vent a little bit here so I suppose I will go read Hamlet now.ugh.

And it starts...

Well, I got engaged last night!! CRAZY!! I've decided I'm going to try and blog this whole wedding process. It'll make it interesting. So I guess I'll start this blog off by saying I have the most incredible fiance ever! He pulled off TWO surprises last night and I had nooooo idea!!! He proposed to me and then he had a party waiting for me at his house. It was so wonderful. Thanks to everyone who came; it meant a lot.
I have a ring on my finger and now the thoughts are a little overwhelming. I have a wedding to plan, but more than anything I have to remember that this day is not about me- it is about the Lord. I think if I keep that one fact in mind, it will make this whole process a lot less stressful. It's going to be hard though because everyone is going to keep telling me it's about me. But anyway, I wish I could start right now!
Ok, well I'll end my first post of many by saying this is going to be some crazy fun months ahead!!!
