Starting the Wedding Craziness

Number 1 awesome thing about being engaged: The love pouring out from everyone!


Like the Grinch, my heart has grown so much!  (image from clker.com)

Number 2: being able to talk to Dino about weddings and not seem crazy.  However, the worst part is everyone is dying to hear details about the wedding...  Details we haven't even started to sort out!

Our first detail to tackle is the date.  When to have it!  We have agreed that sometime warm where there is a good chance of good weather is super important.  So late July through early September.  Then we need to decide if we can pull this shindig together in just 6 or so months, or if we want to wait 18.  The jury is still out on that one.

Not this.  (image from komonews.com)

We're currently in the beginning stages of buying a house - as in, just about ready to jump in and do the serious searching.  So, as you might expect, we're a little preoccupied.  We would like to find somewhere before June, as his lease expires then.  I'm not certain either of us will have the time or motivation to do wedding things when we'll be busy looking at houses and eventually packing up and moving.  But we don't want to wait eternity (18 months seems so far away!).  But I also kind of want to have an engaged Christmas.  If you can't tell, we're totally conflicted.  Which makes it confusing to tell people "We're getting married!  Either this year or a year and a half from now!"  And Dino says he has decided to spend his life with me, so why does he have to wait so long?  (Then I start talking about details and he gets overwhelmed with how much actually goes into a wedding!)

So here we are, undecided, but so so happy!
