A Wish List

It’s Friday night and I can tell Justin and I’s lives have evolved since the engagement.  All our friends are out partying and we chose to stay in to look at wedding magazines and fantasize about our dream wedding!  I love this time together!  I’ve decided a couple of things for sure and that is the following:

Things we are willing to cut budget on because we don’t think are extremely important

The Dress

The Flowers

The Invitations

Things we will spare no expense on

The Cake

The Photographer

Having an Open Bar

Also Our Dream Wish List

A Wedding Photo Booth (they rent them in some areas but I don’t know about Memphis)

A Cigar Bar (extremely unlikely but Justin would like it)

A Bucket of Flip Flops in My Color for Guests to Change Into

But most of all…

I want something of my mothers to wear on the day.  She didn’t wear a wedding dress so I don’t have that, but I have some of her jewelry.  I’m calling on my family members to tell me if they can remember anything about the wedding or how she wanted it.  Please let me know.

Oh My Goodness! We're Engaged!

This blog will be sort of an online version of our thought process in planning our wedding.  It is a year and a half to two years away, but we hope this will provide a unique opportunity to share these processes with our loved ones who are (some) a thousand miles away.  Through this blog, we hope to keep our distant relatives as much a part of the planning as those that live next door.  Please feel free to add comments or email us your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas because we hope family can be the biggest part of this celebration of love.  That being said… I cannot promise that all suggestions and ideas will be used because, over all, we want this day to be a reflection of our personalities.  Thus, please do not be offended if all ideas are not used be it financial or personal restrictions.  So! Check back often, and stay in contact through this very exciting time in Justin and I’s lives!
