Over the weekend, Erin and I started shopping for our wedding registry. We decided on 3 stores – Macy’s, Williams-Sonoma, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. We made it to the first two. We went in with no plan and were a bit overwhelmed, but it was a good experience! We have a good starting point, but I think I’d do things a little differently from the beginning.
As many have told us, Erin and I are working pretty quickly through our wedding planning list. We already have a venue, a photographer, a DJ, color schemes, and some other odds and ends. The thing we are a bit stuck on right now is the guest list. Perhaps it’s a bit taboo to talk about this since we are still making it, but it’s a very important task and a possible big point of conflict, and not just between you and your fiancee.
It’s been a while since I’ve written about the wedding. Erin and I have chosen and venue and a church and I’ll write about that process later, but this weekend we started looking at wedding photographers so I thought I’d share some of my initial thoughts on that process. We have just started meeting with some very talented folks, but we haven’t made any decisions yet.
Did you know it’s said that Walt Disney can be attributed with the creation of the “Push” trash cans? When he was creating Disneyland, he didn’t want people to see trash coming out of the top of the receptacles, so he challenged companies to make trash cans that hid the trash. He would use whoever did the best. That’s because Walt was very much about small details. Hearing stories like that have made me think about how small details can go a long way, even if no one ever notices them. That brings me to seat covers.
A lot of you probably saw on my various social media accounts that I proposed to my girlfriend and she said yes. I couldn’t be happier for the engagement, and now the fun part starts: planning a wedding. You don’t have to worry; I won’t be live-blogging every decision we make. I’m sure there are guides out there on how to plan a wedding already from much more credible sources than me, but I do want to talk about some of the practical things I come across in this adventure. The first is that we need to save some money in order to have the wedding that we want to have. Here are some of the things I’m doing.
