IF ONLY PINTEREST COULD BE MY WEDDING PLANNER?.

I have been obsessed with pinning stuff on my pinterest for different ideas and a theme for Scott and my wedding. Now the search for a good wedding planner is still very much on and we are getting closer to picking one. In the mean time though, I feel like the only thing I can do is google image awesome weddings and photos and flowers and all that jazz! I can only hope that our wedding is a fraction of how gorgeous the pics I have pinned...

Wanna see what we are thinkin so far????? http://pinterest.com/unfug/my-wedding-ideas/

Last night was a strange one?. Scott and I were discussing the budget of our wedding?. Damn these things are expensive!!! UGGGGGG. And let?s be honest who really wants to talk budget?!?!? NOBODY. But, it is an essential talk so we did. The discussion started with about how much we could save in between now and August?. Then went into the fact that we needed to figure out our daily budgets and where we can cut costs and blah blah blah. Money sucks. Not having money sucks. All I know is things were a little heated and somehow ended with me saying, ?this isn?t a pi****ng match put your d*** away.? I?m still working on the not swearing thing?. Everything takes time.

I would love to say my little breakdown afterwards where I screamed ?WE ARE FALLING APART? WE HAVE TO STAY STRONG!!!? was real? but I was just kidding and we are still a-ok. Lol The wedding is still on? hahahaha.

So here?s where we are at now? Scott and I are on a search for a wedding planner since it looks like the wedding will be out of state. I?ve googled the hell out of a bunch of wedding planner websites and narrowed it down to 2. I called both of them and left messages? and one of them called back right away. She answered a bunch of questions and stayed on the phone with me for about 30 minutes! I was totally impressed with her. As of now? the other place hasn?t called back. Now I know I am being somewhat impatient but, it annoys me that the other people haven?t called back. I jump to the conclusion that that?s how things are going to be during the planning of my wedding. Is that lame??? We are gonna see if they call back today?. If not THEY ARE OUT. Afitasen?. Or however you say that. (I was channeling my best Heidi Klum.)

Despite the stress of the whole budget talk there was a sweet moment later in the night. I am not really sure how to give you the visual but I will try. Scott and I were sitting on the couch doing some wedding research and it was like all the stress went away for a minute and both of us remembered we have the honor of planning one of the biggest celebrations of our life. Both of us just got so excited to be there on the couch together knowing we are going to get married soon! J

Today marks 15 days since I?ve been engaged!!! Everyone has said, ?take your time? enjoy being engaged,? but, there?s no time for that?I have started full on wedding planning mode! Lol. Scott seems to think he has lost me to my ipad because I?ve been busy pinning things on my pinterest page starting to put together somewhat of a theme for this celebration. Poor guy. You see? I am not the chic who has always pictured her wedding, I don?t have the whole thing planned out in my head, I have no idea where, or what colors, or what size, or anything. So, I feel the need to get my crap together!

This weekend I went with my mom to the big wedding expo and was attacked by the vultures trying to get their piece of this booming biz of weddings. It was absolute chaos and yet somehow exciting!

Saturday I went to dinner with my friends and when I showed up I realized it was a surprise congrats on the engagement dinner!!! They had balloons and ALL my friends were there? It just reminded me how lucky I am to have such a great group of caring, thoughtful, genuine, and incredible friends!

The truly exciting thing is that Scott and I have found a place we really really wanna have the wedding but were told we couldn?t get 100% confirmation till March 1st. CROSS YOUR FINGERS? if we get it our wedding date will be AUGUST 4TH!!!
