We have already met a few obstacles in planning this wedding. We wanted everyone we knew to be able to join us on this special day and then we realized... we know A LOT of people. Dusty's family alone surpassed my total estimate. Our first guest list total came to a little over 350. We have a very simple wedding in mind and we felt that 350 didn't fit the "simple wedding" standards. We sat down one night and narrowed it down to 150.
The one thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to be married in Faith United Methodist Church. I attended church there as a child and remember thinking even then how I would like to be married there. I called the church in June to see about using it for the ceremony. The secretary met my request with "Our calendars don't go to 2011." Not cool. She said she would put my name on a list and send me some more information about the church. I am still waiting. I also should mention they may be tearing it down. We are considering all options.
I attended a Fall bridal show with my mom at Lakeview Resort. Most of the vendors were too expensive for my taste, however I did find a bakery for my cake. If you have a chance to go to a bridal show, you should go. Fancy food, cake samples, mimosas and pretty dresses. Who cares if you're not engaged?
I keep telling people that if they could just see the wedding I have planned in my head they would think it was great, but it is still disappointing when you tell people your plans and they make an awkward face. I guess you will just have to wait and see. :)
