The initial "ohmygodisthisreallyhappeningtome" is slowly starting to become "ohmygodthisreallyishappening!" I had no idea there would be so much that goes into a wedding.
We have a LOT of details to figure out. Fortunately, Ryan is very patient and easy-going. He lets me talk my through my thoughts out loud and isn't set on anything in particular.
We have yet to decide if we are going to have the wedding in Jacksonville (where my big family is) or Gainesville (where lots of Ryan's family is and where we have spent the majority of our relationship). I always thought that a wedding was supposed to happen in the girl's hometown, but I guess that's a detail that's changed over time. I have found 3 or 4 locations in each place that are serious possibilities. We are planning to make some phone calls and schedule some tours within the next month or so. Picking the location seems to be a good starting point. We'll let the rest of the details flow after the location is settled on.
There are some details that I am set on, but so many more that I don't even know where to begin.
1. Should we get a videographer?
2. What should the centerpieces be?
3. Where/when will we go on a honeymoon?
4. How much can we do ourselves and how much do we pay to have things done for us? Invitations? Wedding favors?
5. What should the wedding favors be?
6. I have no idea what kind of wedding dress I want!
Help! If you have any tips or trick up your sleeves, please share them!

If possible; go wedding dress shopping with your Mom; she will love it and so will you. You both will "know" the dress at the same time...I'm almost sure of it. I did not get to go with Jacqui and she came up with an exquisite number that was perfect for her...Marcy and I got to shop though and it was a very special day and we both LOVED the same dress! Love you honey! Maudie
My recommendation is have fun and keep it simple! I find simplicity to be elegant and sexy...plus, the real money should be spent on a honeymoon...but that just my opinion! But seriously, remember to have fun and enjoy it...sometimes situations like this lose their luster because it can easily become a source of stress! XOXO
