Contemplating Wedding Ideas and Choices Made

So, I'm getting married. HOLY JUMPIN' JESUS ON A POGO STICK!!!! As I stated in a previous blog, this feels so real and so great. I still sometimes can't believe it though.

There is so much to think about. We have yet to pick a date. This is due in part to we don't want to make that committment without getting certain things in order; mainly getting myself a job (still waiting on my doctor to release me to work because of my knee). We want to have some finanical stability before we get married. With Steve's job, he does make good money but it's not enough to live on; much less get married. We want to do things as close to right as possible. But that doesn't mean that we have not made any plans/choices for the wedding.

So far, we have decided that there will be 4 Attendants on both sides. His are: Andrew - Steve's younger brother, Peter - Steve's youngest brother, Tony - Steve's Friend and Boss; and, Brian - Steve's Older Cousin. Mine are: Kellie - My best friend, Kristy - My childhood best friend, Courtney - My sister in law and, Amy - Steve's younger cousin. We have yet to ask either of them but I don't see an issue with either of them saying no. We've also picked colors. They are midnight blue, silver and, crystal (the last one is not really a color persay but we are going to incorporate it in our wedding. Now the wedding itself is going to be a bit different. It's going to be a bit traditional with a twist of punk. The punk is definitely Steve's style coming into play there because that is just him and because I am so not the typical bride to be, I will forever and always say that this is OUR wedding; not just mine. There are so many brides out there at that say it's my day blah blah. I totally think it is about both the bride and the groom. Now, I am little weary thinking about the punk aspect of the wedding but I think I can make it work with my womanly touches without Steve complaining too much. LOL!!!

Let's see what else...oh yeah! We have decided on some decor for the reception. Steve loves fish and he has gotten me into fish as well. So we are going to somehow have fish as part of our center pieces on the tables at our reception.

So far things are coming together. But I know that it will not always be this way....LOL!!!
