Planning

Weddings, weddings, weddings. I feel as though all I have done lately is plan a wedding. And I haven't even done that very well. There had been no reception place picked and the wedding is about 1 year away. At this rate I'm pretty sure we will be having our reception at The Farm.

And my parents would be ok with The Farm too. I know because Ando and I met with my parents on Sunday to discuss the wedding a little more. They don't want Ando and I to have an outside wedding which is what both of us really want. We don't want to have a typical sit down and never get up from you seat wedding. We want everyone to mingle and have a good time while eating some good food. So if you all come to our wedding you better make sure to have a good time and not make it too formal.

My parents also think Ando and I are crazy because we want good food. When we had them over for dinner on Sunday we make turkey lettuce wraps with bok choy. They think we just eat weird food all the time, even though I don't think it is weird. My mom thinks she isn't going to eat at the wedding because there isn't going to be anything "normal" there. I'm thinking she will be fine because we can't afford to pay for any "crazy" food. We got nowhere on the wedding by the way. Hopefully Ando and I can get a bit further when we meet with a wedding planner on Friday. Yes, I have caved in and am getting some advice from a planner. I don't know how much we will use her or even how much it will cost, but one little meeting won't hurt anything, right?

Not much else has happened this week, except me losing sleep over finding a reception place. The longer we wait the more places get booked up and the more sleep I lose. I will let you all know how the planner session goes.

Today's discussion: what should the wedding favors be? (And now you can vote in the upper left corner!)
