First 3 Questions
1. What is/was the hardest part of planning your wedding?
It was actually getting on board with having a wedding. You see, I have always wanted to get married. ALWAYS. However, some of the lore and luster goes away for a girl when her dad dies and for me, my dad died 10 years ago. I really wanted to sneak away to somewhere beautiful to just indulge in rest, food, love, travel, exploration and togetherness. I couldn't have thought of something more perfect - discreet, quite, intimate, close and then after re-centering, having a big blowout party a month or 6 later. I stalled 3 months in making any first moves in planning anything - including denying an engagement party.
The second hardest thing was discernment. When you do something for the first time it's like you have a sign. on that says "HELP ME!" so everyone gives you their advice and opinion. Some advice I got floored me, and some confused me even more. I really had to discern were people giving me advice for my wedding or were they just talking about their experiences planning theirs.
2. What is/was the easiest part?
I think since I knew what I wanted to avoid as far as what I envisioned, it was easy for me to say "NO" to absolute negatives. There were many things I wasn't sure about or didn't have an opinion about but for the things that I knew I disliked, it was really easy to deny those things.
3. How organized were your? Do you remember what your first and last tasks were that you crossed off?
Uhh - yah. Pretty much having been a high school teacher and "Daddy's Little Girl" I had planned a wedding since I was 15. I had a notebook and everything. The first thing I crossed off was to go to the Bridal Expo in Myrtle Beach to get some inspiration and get in the mood of having a wedding. The second thing I did was book these fabulous girls at Ash Events to be my wedding coordinators and the third thing I did was book Ryan Robinson with Global Truth Entertainment for my DJ since Ryan and I worked some commercials together years ago.
As far as the last thing - I am currently about 9 days out and I have to finish the program, finish the playlist (and determine our first dance sing), make my backdrop, find something borrowed, handwrite my vows, pack my bag, determine a few other details and get Matt from the airport. Of course, all the beauty stuff too like nails, spray tan, eyelashes, hair and make up day of - that kind of stuff. [I know I teach yoga and mindfulness which sometimes sounds like minimalist but I am totally a girly girl and this is my first wedding so - bells and whistles are necessary. Also, there is no judgement in yoga so - no eye rolls here! ]
That's all for now - check back at the end of the month for Part 2!
