So, if I have any free time, I'm on the internet searching for ideas, ideas and more ideas. I got the idea that I wanted Nick to wear a different tie than his groomsmen and the fathers. I started my search, and to my surprise I found the perfect one in about 3 minutes. :) I showed it to Nick and luckily he loved it too. Woo hoo!
So after a couple of beers last night, Nick and I decided on our wedding colors. I love chocolate brown and light blue. I think it fits us to a tee. Let the planning begin.
I started researching flowers today, and damn flowers are SO expensive, ot maybe its just the one's I want. I was smitten with these peony bouquets until I found out how expensive they would be. ($4.50 a stem) I had planned on doing my own flowers anyway (minus the florist,) but I don't think these are in my budget.
After looking online for bouquet alternatives, I thought these two ideas were very interesting.
The top two are made of buttons, the bottom two are made of paper.
Ok, I'm totally a computer person, but I realized today that it would be a really good idea to have a book to carry around. After hours of research, trying to decide what to put in it, I drove to Office Depot to pick out a 3-ring binder. Have you purchased a 3-ring binder recently? Holy Geez, they're expensive. I spent 45 minutes looking at them. I finally decided on one, its brown with cream stitching around the edge. I think I've lost my mind. That's right folks, it took me 45 minutes to pick out a brown binder.
Even though I knew it was going to happen (see The Proposal section,) it still caught me off guard when it actually happened. It's a weird and exciting feeling to say 'I'm Engaged.'
