132 days to go!

So summer is approaching, which means time to get all of my final wedding plans completed.  My goal for summer is to complete the seating chart, place cards, menus/programs, and pretty much anything wedding related including the Bridal Shower and Bachelorette party.

Some of this would be easier to do if I had help from other people who I felt were there to support me.  I don't think I will be able to keep my goal of stressfree wedding planning as I have been more stressed that I would like.  Recently I spoke my mind and now I doubt that I have a support system at all.   I am getting some help from a few people but I don't want to open up completely to them and feel like a burden.  One thing I am looking forward to is a joint bachelor/bachelorette party.

I'm still trying to figure out how to have everything I want and keep within my budget.  I want beautiful flowers and the wedding on my dreams.  I want to relax and just enjoy myself.  I want to have someone else finish out the planning so that I can be wowed by what is happening on my actual wedding day.  I want a day that is elegantly simple, maybe a little understated but you don't notice anything truly missing. Right now the dreams I have for my wedding day are soooo far from reality.  I would love to have a ton of flowers and a day that felt really romantic.  If I lived somewhere else I would try to get married in a garden and have a tented reception with fabric draped walls, soft lighting, long tabled with floral and candle center places, Family style dining and all night dancing.  A girl can dream... if it was a fairy tale it'd all come true with a wish (believe me, I've tried, it ain't gonna happen).

There is still so much to do: alterations, BMs dresses, flowers, Music, paying off vendors, food tasting, everything for the reception and anything else that I forgot to think about.
