And So The Chaos Begins

So this is my first post to this blog. And to kind of tell you what it's about here's quick and simple summery....

I'M GETTING MARRIED!

Yep so that' it. I'm engaged and going to take you along the wacky road of planning a Greek themed wedding. This is also to give advise on what to and not to do during certain parts of the planning process as I learn them.

Isn't this exciting! Of course it is! But it's also frustrating. I'm only a few weeks in and I'm already going crazy. Mostly because I have a year and 10 months to plan and I'm worried about not getting things done in time and getting them done too early. As of right now I have simple things planned like the first dance song and the colors. Here's my advice on these things.

When picking the song you are going to dance to with your new husband (or wife) do not go traditional lovey dovey just because that's what people expect. Me and Roger are going to be dancing to Never Gonna Be Alone by Nickleback. Mostly because it's our song and the lyrics really fit us as a couple. And don't let others talk you out of the perfect song. It's your wedding not theirs so if they don't like it they don't have to come.

As for colors... Well here's what I did. I picked my favorite and his. I love silver because of the moon and because silver looks better than gold on me. And Roger loves blue and really so do I. So we decided on a deep sky blue and silver wedding that complements our overall theme and ourselves. But I know one of my cousins choose the colors of their high school because that was were her and her husband meet. Heck you don't even need a color scheme if you don't want. Go traditional and be black and white. As long as the colors reflect who you are as a couple.

Also I found out that if you are struggling with paying for your big day there are some websites to help you start a fundraiser. Me and Roger are actually fundraising to hopefully get our dream ceremony and reception venue, The Ringling Museum of the Arts. If you would like to help us any amount helps and you can donate at the link I will provide below. If you're looking for a fundraising website I recommend gogetfunding.com. It's free and there's even a section specially for wedding.

Well that's it for now. I'll update later this week with more about this exciting time.
Bye
