The Wedding Plans

The plans... the plans have evolved so much from my original wedding vision. While I know I had to start somewhere, it's odd to see what I thought I wanted vs. what I'm getting or what I want now.

In the beginning I wanted Green and Brown for colours. That has slowly and unintentionally evolved into Green and White with brown accents.

In the beginning I wanted roses, elaborate herb and wildflower bouquets. And now I'm so excited about handpicked lilacs from my mother's yard.

In the beginning I wanted tacos. And... well, actually I still want to have tacos. But now we're having soups and salads and sandwiches. Cheaper, more crowd pleasing, and deffinatley safer in a white dress! (Or, ivory, in my case.)

Most of all I'm excited to be married to Tim. Last night I half jokingly, half seriously asked him if we could sneak off to city hall and get married, and keep it a secret from everyone else for the next 9 months. He said no. But I always think that would be so romantic... getting married and having no one know.

I kind of understand why people feel the need to elope. Plus, weddings are expensive! We're doing ours for super cheap. But honestly, the only reason we can do it that way is we have so many friends and family members willing to help out. A friend is doing my hair, my sister in law is doing the cake, my mom is buying my dress, my dad is chipping in some cash, and so on and so on.

I love my wedding. And I feel like I'm organized enough now that by the time the wedding is a month away, I'll be able to sit back and enjoy the excitement.
