Wedding Planning...

... is not my forte.

At all.

The thing is, I have no idea how to plan a wedding. Also, I am not good at decisions. Also, I am 5,000 miles away from my mother. Also, I have been doing so much thinking and looking that I am starting to get overwhelmed with ideas, and they're all starting to run together into a big blob of confused wedding chaos.

So. I need to sort things out.

Here is what I know:

  • We are getting married at 2:00 pm on November 6th in the Washington D.C. Temple. They have been called and scheduled, so we're all set there.
  • We are having a reception that night at my church in Virginia
  • We are having an Alaska reception two weeks after the wedding at the Kenley home
  • My colors are green and purple... the specific shades of those colors are still a little hazy, it turns out.
  • I want to do my bouquet out of purple ranunculus and white spider mums, with green hypericum berries or some other such filler. Also a few boutineers, etc.
  • I am not having a wedding party
  • I do not want a line
  • There will be a little bit of dancing. But not a lot.
  • There will be a lot of invitations- I am compiling a final guest list
  • I will wear a wedding dress with sleeves. Where I will find said dress is still up in the air... way up in the air.
  • I will wear purple ballet flats, probably
  • I will marry my best friend in the whole world, and will be surrounded by people who love me very much
That is all I know. And a little bit that I don't know. But there you have it.
