9 Short Months 'til The Big Day
So far, it has been a breeze since we started planning. However, now we're starting to slowly figure out exactly how we want our big day to go. Between deciding on the guest list (trying to keep it around 100 people), sorting through the many invitation options, and figuring out how to conquer wedding registries (I want everything I see!), my head is starting to spin.
Though I do want some idea about all the smaller details now, I have to keep reminding myself we're still 9 months away. I'll be graduating from SFA in December this year, so that'll give me time away from school (Mid-December - April) to figure a lot of things out and finalize everything. Ryan is currently managing two full-time jobs and going to school. He's looking to graduate in May 2014 - exactly 2 weeks after the Big Day. Unlike some of the stories I hear about grooms, Ryan has been a huge help. He keeps telling me to just pick what I want and we'll work on it. I've enjoyed being able to bounce around wedding ideas with him in our CNN (Circle of No Negativity). We take each other's ideas and consider them fully before giving any suggestions. It's been very helpful in the stress department.
As I said before, God is in this. He's here with us from beginning to end during the entire process - including the entirety of our marriage :) He has brought us through so much and will continue to do so. So, no matter how overwhelmed all this may seem, none of it matters if He's not a part of it. Three of us are getting married that day and that makes it easier to think about. Knowing that God will always be in the center of our hearts and lives makes all of this (and the stress that comes with it) worth it!
We love all of you and we're so excited to share this beautiful occasion with each of you! May God bless you all!!
