Wedding Planning!!


Yup, instead of working on my paper (at least it isn't due for a few more weeks....) I am surfing the web and doing some wedding planning.

So, though not all the bridesmaids are chosen yet, the dress is!!

So yup, there it is, the official choice for the bridesmaids dress. Now to figure out who that final bridesmaid will be....LOL!

Also in discussions around here lately have been the need to choose a DJ here pretty soon, figure out a photographer...and choosing the flatware. Yup the flatware has been quite the discussion for us.

First, Jereme had offered that we use paper plates. I scoffed at this idea!! The pure upset it caused for a full day in this house...not fun!! However I understood his point. Who wants to wash dishes for 200 people? Certainly not us!! So I did what I do best, and went on an internet search for a compromise.

And I found one!! So we are either going with disposable, compostable, renewable, fair trade palm plates ,














or disposable, compostable, renewable, fair trade bamboo plates.

Which ones we choose is yet up for discussion. I would love to also go with the birchwood forks and knives to go with it, but I'm nervous about the wood texture. I can't even stand the feeling of popsicle sticks in my mouth, I'm not sure how I can ask all of my guests to be happy eating off of a fork that is popsicle stick textured. We may have to come up with a different option for forks and knives...I'm thinking maybe biodegradable forks and knives made from sugar cane.

More later!!

two families

Molding two families and two households into one is turning out to be a stressful ordeal for me. I never thought this would be a particularly overwhelming step for me, but its turning out to be. I start thinking about things and then wandering down different rabbit holes until I just have no idea about anything anymore. I will say that this is more complicated when you have kids and other stuff already in the picture. It will all work out though, I just have to practice my patience.
