Okay, first off, let me explain, to my great frustration, we are not engaged yet. However, Ive been given the green-light to start planning our wedding! Arrghhh!! According to my DFF (Dear Future Fiancé) he will not propose until he can get me a ring. However, weve already picked a date, and a place. Hence, the title of this Planning Journal!
Actually, I dont have much to plan, we are going very simple and casual, with only four of us .me, DFF, DS (15), and DS (18). Small, intimate, and best of all, fun! Me and DFF had a romantic week at WDW and US/IOA last month (while kids were with SOB-X). It was so much fun, so honor of those great memories, we have decided to get married at *Top Secret* in Orlando. Ill tell you all where later. Im afraid if I let the cat out of the bag, other people will try start calling the manager, and he will decide that its more trouble than its worth!
So, heres the plan .Travel on Friday, arrive on Saturday, Mandatory Fun Day at US/IOA on Sunday, get hitched on Monday, Boys fly home on Tuesday, DISNEYMOON till Friday, and last but not lease a 3 day Bahamas cruise till Monday.
I went shopping in Saint Louis on Saturday before I picked up my DS (15) from the Airport. (We live in the middle of nowhere, Missouri, so we have to drive thousands of miles just to go to the airport). Anyway, between all the great end of Summer Sales, and no-tax weekend, I found a beautiful dress (white cotton, v-neck/back, cinched waist) at Macys for only $39 oh, and a white strapless cotton dress with eyelet around the top and scalloped on the bottom for $26 (I couldnt decide which I wanted, so I bought both, hey they were marked down enough I could do it)!! I also found a beautiful Tommy Bahamas silk Hawaiian-Type shirt for DFF. His shirt was $120. Somethings wrong with this picture when the grooms wedding attire is more expensive than the brides! In the spirit of being married at *Top Secret*, we had decided to dress tropical-ish, so Im going to order a real-orchid lei to wear that matches his shirt.
So, I thought Id join your group here to help plan our wedding and Disneymoon. (And maybe help me pick out which dress to wear!)
Oh yeah, we are getting married on May 4, 2009. The lines should be short (we wanted to go between schools Spring and Summer breaks), and the weather pleasant!
Heres hoping that hell propose soon! In all honesty (and I told him this too), Id prefer just a wedding band. Notice I didnt say a simple wedding band? I found a beautiful one by Van Creynest I love. I wonder if he decides to get it, if Ill have to wait for the wedding ceremony for him to propose?
I love my Bass-Ackwards Groom!
