Wedding Planning Stress

Hello Earthlings!

I was thinking about what to blog when I had a conversation with my Mom about some wedding plans. I'm not a person who like the attention on me or to plan something as simple as going to the movies. So when I realized it was time to start planning, I had a slight freak out. There's just so much to do! I made a wedding binder to stay organized and hopeful lessen the stress. I wanted to share my journey through planning a wedding to hopeful help someone else who also doesn't care to plan things.

I had a nervous feeling when my fiancé and I were looking at places for our ceremony and reception. Everywhere we went, all the Saturdays in October for next year were taken. I started to feel like we were going to have to push it back more than we wanted. Finally we found a golf course we both liked and our parents approved of. I thought that was going to take away a lot of the stress, but oh dear how wrong I was.

A few weeks after that, We went to a tasting there and spoke with some of the recommended vendors. We had an idea of who we were using, but were still lost on some things. We put a deposit down for the cake, flowers, and my dress. I feel like we've already got so much things done since we've gotten engaged, but last night I finally got everyone in my bridal party and realized how much there's still left to do. Making our invitations/save the date cards, finding a photographer, booking a dj, and dealing with the guest list.

What else is becoming stressful is décor. We wanted our wedding based on the colors of the British Show Doctor Who. Trying to add Doctor Who into our wedding without making it uncomfortable for our guests who are not fans is harder than I thought. Our color for the wedding is Royal Blue. That makes the decorations easier, but dealing with flower choices very limited. Thankful looking at Etsy has given me some ideas to throw Doctor Who into our wedding. For example, Our cake will be a space theme with the TARDIS on top and I've been looking into getting a guest book that's doctor who themed.

As for now, There's still a lot to do, but I'll be excited for the end result. I know that the stress is worth it to be able to marry my best friend and celebrating the start of our life with our family. Now if only I could get him to help decide on a photographer and dj.
