Due to budgetary reasons, we have decided that our plans for a Cancun wedding are off. At first, this was pretty awful news for us, as it is what we had been planning all along, and our heart was set on the month of January, since it is when we are both free from school and before either of us enters into our careers. But, within a few days of deciding the destination wedding was off, we had a back up plan in motion.
I want to preface the rest of this post by asking that none of you take it personally if I've left you off of our guest list, especially for the ceremony. The venue we've chosen for the ceremony allows only ten guests (including bridal party), so we have decided to allow only our immediate family (and our Grandmas, since we both only having one left, we really want to share our day with them) and one attendant each to be with us when we say our vows. We DO plan on having a large reception with everyone who wishes to join us soon after we return from our honeymoon.
We will be doing the ceremony at Angel's Watch Inn in Westbrook, with a small reception following at Luigi's Restaurant down the street. The innkeepers at Angel's Watch Inn do small ceremonies like the one we have frequently, and I can't wait to work with them, I've heard so many good things! Mostly, I'm just happy to have a plan in motion.
My mind has only one setting lately, and its wedding, which is normal I assume, but oh so distracting. I've found myself laying awake at night pondering wedding bands (which we picked out last night), shoes (still no idea, but I think I want them to be my something blue!), and cake toppers (do we really need one of those? even the 'funny' ones are kind of awful). I'm trying to make lists and do one task at a time but I'm all over the place! I'm hoping that once the deposits are down on the inn and the restaurant I will relax a little..but I know I won't. Maybe when I order my dress on Tuesday :)
Until next time...
