It's been a little over a week since the bf became the fiance and I've been walking on air when I'm around him, telling the story and laughing with friends. But, when left to my own devices, I'm buying wedding magazines ($22 worth), scoping out reception sites, looking at bridal gowns, AHHHH! Needless to say, I may be fired because I can't help myself at work.
In the midst of the craziness (looking at a 240+ guestlist), I've found some sources of laughter. First, Another Fucking Wedding, two crazy brooklyn kids with a kosher wedding which isn't my main concern, being Catholic and all. The bride had a great idea to look for wedding dresses on craiglist and it is a buyer's market out there. That, and just plain funny seeing what people are trying to sell them for.
Then, a zany lady over at a $10,000 wedding, who hasn't been proposed to yet, but loves all things wedding. I have a few girlfriends who could be behind this anonymous blog and so far, it is full of good ideas.
Finally, this simple sunset wedding for under $2,000 was just gorgeous and to end with grimaldi's is the ticket to my heart.
The bridal magazines all seem to sell the same thing over and over again. I kinda wish my F was a guitar strumming hippie who would take me into the woods, shake my hand and ask me what I was up to the rest of my life. But, I love my Ohio-loving, football watching, big lug of a cuddly guy who almost had me considering a 10 person bridal party to accommodate his 5 brothers and 5 friends. I just hope we can survive the planning process. And no, I will not have 10 bridesmaids. That's just nuts.
