The Engagement - Let the planning begin

Saturday, June 17, 2006

So we have decided on a date:
Saturday September 2nd, 2006

That's right, THIS September. My dad is in shock, I think he was dreaming about a big golf club kind of wedding, but I have a sister and we often call her Princess, so he will get his chance. But other than that the families are happy for us and supportive of our ideas.

So here's what we are envisioning. A beautiful backyard wedding at my parents home with only our immediate family members present. It's not that we don't like our friends, but rather we refuse to invite some, but not all of you, and well if we invite all of you then we're no longer talking about a small wedding are we?

Following the short civil service, we will take some pictures and enjoy a catered lunch with those very important guests before escaping the excitement for a few hours.

After which we will re-convene in the backyard to have a fabulously relaxed and fun open house with lots of food, relaxing music and no obligation to come, go, or stay for any defined period of time. We're low key people and we want the celebration of our love to reflect who we are rather than follow someone else's traditions.

Although our backyard wedding will have much less to plan than a traditional big wedding, we have to cram all of our preparations into the next two and a half months...Something tells me it is going to be a very busy summer.
