Moving right along....

Update!

The bridesmaid dress is chosen, and the contract has finally been sent for the reception venue. Now it's just about trying to secure the ceremony site and start putting money away for the food, entertainment, and more. And sadly, I have completely slowed my wedding planning. I need to get the save the dates out... providing I can get them printed in the next week or two. Then there's another $60 dropped on postage. But everything will be all the better for it.


I've been slowly perusing the net for more inspiration but I'm already feeling like I've got so much inspiration in front of me that I'm fearful that I might overwhelm myself if I "inspire" myself much more.


I went to a BBQ on Labor Day and met a guy that Chuck works with and his lovely fiance. I was previously told by way of Chuck that they are getting married in the Dominican Republic and that we have been invited to their all-inclusive wedding. While talking to the fiance, I began to kind of share a few wedding ideas that I thought might be slightly applicable to them. She seems really focused on having a no-fuss wedding, and my tips may not have been that helpful for her. I guess I figured with the both of us having a destination wedding (DW) she might be interested in sharing info. But, alas, it seems they are doing the destination wedding the right way. No fuss, just a stylish wedding/vacation that suits their style. It is an all-inclusive resort and from what I understand, that includes air fare! It's a good deal. So all you have to do is show up! Great plan! Would be a wonderful idea for us too if we weren't getting married in San Diego and having our reception at a 4-star resort. Although, I feel that our wedding will absolutely have our style written all over it, I feel our wedding will be a memorable event even though its not an all inclusive vacation.

But I am sure that their wedding is going to absolutely reflect their style. They had a big wedding planned but after life getting in the way of their original plan, they feel like "why force a big wedding and feel like it might end up being too be stuffy and rigid?" And I think that will show through their wedding event for them. I am confident their wedding is going to be exquisitely beautiful!


So, I've been thinking about this... That is exactly what I've been wanting all this time! How to best express our style in our wedding without being too rigid and inflexible? How to make It look nearly effortless and sans-fuss. How to look like the whole thing was fun from proposal to I Do!!!


Which I think is all the more reason for me to look for more inspiration. So, I'm off to find my inspiration in style. I think the fire of getting married has been reignited. So exciting!!! :o)
