Today we booked the wedding date! July 23, 2011 is the magical day. I cannot believe this is actually happening. Booking the church really brought the idea home for me. I am ecstatic about the upcoming months of planning. Next steps include reception venues, bridesmaids, and wedding dress shopping. The wedding ceremony will be at my parent's church. The church is absolutely gorgeous. It reminds me of the church in the Sound of Music that Maria gets married at. I love it!
Also today, I went to the fabulous world of Walmart. But a trip here is not your typical trip when it is in Sylacauga. Before I walk in the doors of that forsaken place, I bet on how many people I will see while trying to get everything on my list. Today I bet 2 people. I actually saw 3. But I bolted when I saw them. Isn't it funny how sometimes when you see people you know you hide from them for some reason? I don't know about you, but I do it because I get tired of typical conversations. "OMG, hey!! How are you? What's your major? How old are you again? You have just grown up so much!" "How's the fam? Did you notice we got a new Burger King? Ain't that somethin?" You know I love it, but sometimes I just want to get in and get out asap. So that's what I did. As soon as I saw someone I hid in the opposite aisle, pretending to look at windshield wiper blades (yeahhh real convincing) until they were out of site.
After wonder world, I came home and did absolutely nothing. It was such a great feeling. All I did was look at reception venues and bridesmaids dresses! I am starting to realize how difficult planning a wedding is. Especially when it comes to people's feelings. I do not want to hurt any of my friends. But what I have found in this process so far is there is seriously only so much you can do to try and please everybody. Sometimes details work out one way and there is nothing you can do about it, even if you hate it. I want to be a "go with the flow" bride. Stressing over details is pointless. The bottom line is who your marrying.
Have a great week!
