happy planning :)

i'm determined to keep up with this blog...

as for wedding plans, they're coming along. still doing some research on reception sites, but we did find a place we like. it is reasonably priced, too. also, we've decided that we're going more formal on everything, too. not super formal, but more than the casual jeans idea. i like it, but... we only do this once and i want it to be special. the guys are going to wear chocolate brown tuxes without the jackets with 'pool' vests and ties. dan will wear the same, but with a white vest and pool tie, and the girls can do knee-length "pool" dresses and i will... uh... wear a white gown. we're doing minimal flowers, too. the guys won't have boutineres (bc they won't have their jackets on, anyway) and i'm thinking, if i can find some, i'd like the girls to carry parasols (fancy umbrellas or 'umbies' as roro calls them) and i have a FANTASTIC idea for the centerpieces for the reception, too! i can't wait!

so much planning lately, and so many ideas floating around. it's been great. everything seems to be just falling into place. :) dan knows so many people and that's definitely been helping with the individual things (flowers, photography, etc) i have a david's bridal appt saturday and mom's coming with me! i can't wait for that, too! i'm so glad mom will be there to help. her opinion is important to me. i'm getting more excited and nervous each day. we have just over a year (i know it seems like a long time, but... i know it will fly by!)

:)
i'm so happy.
