Well, it's exactly a year until the wedding (366 days to be precise, 2012 is a leap year!). Today we went to a Rockies game (vs. Milwaukee Brewers). We had these sweet club level seats given to us by Math's parents who have season tickets.The Rockies won 12-3. So woo! Afterward we went out with Zibo to a few bars in downtown and I got accidentally drunk off of free ladies' drinks. But Math was a perfect gentleman and made sure we got off the right bus stop while I slept, let me into his office on campus to pee on our walk home and went with me to King Stoopids to buy Gatorade. It definitely reminded me of why I'm marrying him!
So now that I'm officially in the "wedding timeframe" of The Knot (no longer am I the "more" in "12 months or more") I figure that now I should get my ass in gear and start doing more stuff. Booking the venue got one monkey off my back, but also kind of put me in an accomplishment high. However, now I should probably start looking at things like caterers, the officiant (I think we know who this'll be), photographers and all the things that The Knot tells me I need. Oh and work on the guest list. Oh dear God.....the guest list....I have to compile a list of 250 mailing addresses and emails in a format from which I'll be able to make labels later. Please kill me...
But caterers are going to be fun. Once I get over the shock of how much it's going to cost, I think tastings will be exciting. Menu planning too....but knowing me, I'll probably want more than I can afford.:-/ Such is life when you're Lyndsie.
Photographers....not so much fun, except for the fact that all the ones I have in que so far are friends or friends of friends. That'll be cool - I'd definitely rather know my money is going to a friend.
Oh and we need to decide if we want to actually have a string quartet playing Radiohead for the pre and post ceremony. That's part of the issue - getting Math to decide on stuff without him thinking that it's too early. =P
Dance lessons....I have no idea how long it's going to take Math to get some rhythm so we should probably start earlier rather than later. Hehe I can say that because he never reads these anyway. ;-)
Honeymoon - the plan is to do a 7 night cruise then 6 nights or so in a timeshare with friends. Apparently cruises you need to book a year in advance so we have to look at that too. And pricing is important so we knwo how much we should save. Though, that's going to be hard lol. Yay credit cards. And honestly, I don't care if I get debt for this. It's a once in a lifetime thing. Fo sho!
Also, I'm thinking about getting Lasik. I'd love to have it before the wedding and honeymoon, but I don't know if I can afford it by then. It's SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE! I need to pay off my entire credit card and then we can talk. My goal is January. But I also want an iPod Touch...decisions...haha!
Well my laptop is about to die so this will have to be a 2-part post. Part two coming soon!
