The last week has gone by so quickly, I can't believe it's Labour Day already!
I've spent just about every day since getting engaged last Saturday thinking and planning our wedding. Jordan started getting a little overwhelmed and asked if we could just enjoy being engaged! Well, of course we can (while I'm planning).
I spent the weekend wedding planning with my mom, and Jordan was fairly involved too (when he wanted to be). We have a good sense about theme, colours, food, location ect. I'm not going to post anything for sure because we are still looking a bit. My best friend Amy and I are going to a bridal show next weekend to get inspired, so things may change, but I'm not thinking they will.
My grandma has offered to make my wedding dress *eek* (I get a wedding dress). She made a couple of my aunts wedding dresses and a couple of family friends dresses too. I'm looking forward to getting a sense about what she can make and what I want and having that come together.
When we announced our engagement on Wednesday, one of the comments was 'and another one bites the dust' - it is a bit funny that quite a few personal finance bloggers have recently gotten engaged/married. I won't make any promises about what I will or won't write about - but I do promise this, I'll keep writing.
what a whirlwind
