If You Haven't Heard the Exciting News!


I'm getting married!!!!

David proposed over the weekend on our little getaway in the most romantic way I can imagine. Of course I said 'yes'. I won't go into too many details, as David is a pretty private person and didn't even want to tell the story to the kids. I think he wants it to be one of the few things that only he and I get to share.

I will tell you it involved a horse drawn carriage ride and the sweetest, most amazing words I've ever heard. And we are both over the moon happy! He picked the most perfect, handcrafted ring from an Etsy seller and I couldn't be any more  pleased!

So, let the wedding planning commence! Good for me, I've spent months pinning wedding ideas in hopes this day was soon to come! And I'll share with you real quick the only information I have thus far. We are going to look at the venue tomorrow evening that we both want. It's a garden site in the next town over and is beyond perfect for my vision. I'm going with my own interpretation of the Mad Hatters Tea Party... nothing literal, just using it for inspiration.

We have our colors picked out...

Navy and Marigold with pops of green! I want everything to have a vintage feel to it and be fun, quirky and unique!

It looks like it will be July 14 or July 21. We will have that narrowed down tomorrow. I'm leaning for July 21. The boys will stand up for David and the girls will stand up for me. We plan on asking one other person each to be attendants and keeping it small.

In the meantime, here's some of my inspiration and what I'm hoping to accomplish! I promise I won't disappear over the months to come, but I may not be on the blog every day as I normally am! This is the moment I've been waiting for my entire life and I plan on savoring every last moment!

I promise to keep everyone updated and not go overboard boring you with all the little details. David has made me promise I will make decisions and stick to them and not go crazy second guessing myself! We will see if I can stick to that! But I know, more than anything, our day will be picture perfect for us - and most importantly, I'm going to get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend!

And glad to hear that you're going to try to enjoy the process and not drive yourself crazy with second guessing supposed perfection. It's about you two getting married (so exciting!!), not if everything looks just so. So happy!!
