The Countdown begins! It is exactly one year until our wedding day! I pulled out a wedding checklist last night that I bought when we first got engaged. Everyone keeps telling me these next 365 will go by so fast, so I have to make sure I am on track with everything. Sometimes I look forward to it with a bit of an overwhelmed feeling, because I have no idea what I am doing. But most of the time I am just really excited to marry my best friend and have a party with all my family and friends celebrating love!
After reveiwing the checklist, I quickly learned that not only am I on track, I am even ahead of schedule on some things (teamwork for the win!). Most of the checklists that I have seen suggest that 12 months before the wedding, you should:
- Come up with a budget and style for your wedding – done and done
- Hire a wedding planner – lucky for me, my sister is a professional one and loves me so much!
- Pick your wedding date – 10.28.17
- Start planning the guest list – 400 people later, I think we have it down pat
- Book ceremony and reception venues – check
- Start registry – if you read last week’s blog, you know how much fun we had doing that
So, I have all those completed, and then some – we hired a photographer and I bought my gown.
I really hope this year doesn’t go by quickly so we can enjoy the process together, but if the last few months are any indicator, we are in for a fun ride!
365 days left until we tie the knot – 10.28.17
