So planning has come to a halt for the time being. It seems like the never ending money pit that is our life together has taken over and stopped the decoration process. Not that we don't have plenty of time to work on decorations, I mean, we do have a little over 11 months, but it was nice knowing that we had some of the work done early.
We need to plan a walk around of the grandparents' property to see how it looks this time of the year, plan for everything we'll need to do starting the spring to make it look awesome come next October, and how we are going to arrange things for set-up. It is going to take so much work, but in the end, it's going to be so worth it!
It's kind of funny looking back at what I thought my wedding day would be like back in high school. It was going to be a huge late spring/summer affair, with like 300 people; a fitted lace dress; all of my family, friends, and even some aquaintences; either down in the San Diego area or in Disneyland; and marring my ex. Very grandiose.
And, now, here I am, marrying the guy of my dreams. The guy I never knew existed, that I never knew I could be with. I'll be getting married in a cupcake dress with pick-ups that I can edit to make it what I want, in my fiance's grandparents' back yard in the foothills of California, in late October, me and my wedding party doing all of the planning and decorations ourselves, and 150 of our closest friends and family.
And, with as different as my real wedding is going to be from what I imagined in the past, I would not have it any other way. I no longer want the huge grandiose wedding with way too many people and huge expenses that would take years to pay off. The smaller, intimate backyard wedding with all of the colors is exactally what I never knew I always wanted, with the man I deep down always wanted and needed. A little piece of perfect in this crazy world we call life.
