Today was spent on pinning cute wedding ideas on pinterest. I've decided that our honeymoon destination will determine when our wedding will be. The right time to go to these locations will determine the wedding month, which will determine what flowers are in bloom during that season, which will then lead to color palette for the wedding, and then the color for cake, invitations, bridesmaids dresses, etc. If my man finally proposes within the next year, we can plan for a summer wedding in 2014. That means we will be going to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and our honeymoon. If he decides that he needs more time to save and plan then I have him choose from 3 destinations: Maui, Florence, and Santorini. Maui for it's beaches, Florence for the culture, art, touristy thing, and Santorini for the chill atmosphere.
I was talking to my friend while I was pinning away and she basically told me to wait for the proposal so that I don't have to replan later. I would totally agree with her if I was in the right state of mind (I'm not the type of girl to plan in advance for a wedding like some other girls I know), BUT I landed on Martha Stewart Wedding Planning Board and it had so many pretty things pinned on it. I was hooked like an addict.
It doesn't seem like a distant dream. It seems like it's within my grasp in a couple of years. And what's amazing is that I'm not freaking out. I think I freaked out about really getting married when some talks came from him last year. I just couldn't imagine being tied down like that. All the added responsibility. Plus my cousin got married and it seemed like married life was just that, real life. Not glamorous and all, but filled with dinner preparing, dish washing, and laundry. Then the baby comes and basically a couple has no life. So even though I was thrilled with vague talks about marriage, I wasn't to gungho about it. It's changed a bit now. I've almost entered a new phase in my life (not sharing too much details cuz it's currently in the works). I might be moving and it would be nice to get a place in the vicinity of where we would like to start a home. Schaumburg area perhaps? Anyways it's exciting. I want to take him along for the ride. Maybe it's too early. He recently started a new phase earlier this year. With that added, maybe it's better to settle down when we are more settled in our lives.
Well maybe instead of planning every detail, I should go with the flow. My man is pretty respectable and keeps his word, so I'm sure he'll propose in the next year or 2, before we reach 30. What's left for me is to have fun planning. Not to get too stressed out. Let it be.
