This weekend Phil and I went out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle. This was the first time we had seen them since the engagement and I think we were all very anxious to talk details. When the questions came up- "So, tell us about the wedding?"- I was a little stumped. I can go on and on about the wedding for hours and hours but when faced with a question that really needed more of a pin-pointed answer I was at a loss.
Luckily my wonderful fiance jumped in explaining his views on the wedding planning process. He began by saying that the wedding planning process really scared him in the beginning, he thought it would be very overwhelming and constant lists of To-Dos. He has been presently surprised though-(his words). He explained the planning as going through stages.
The first stage was booking the venues and getting our "rules" for the day. Once you have your venue you are really boxed in to what they will and will not allow you to do. This first stage also consists of booking some of the vendors, DJ, cake, perhaps florist. This stage is loose on pinpointing things other than the general vendors but definitely helps the creativity start flowing.
The second stage, as he described is more where we are at. It is where things begin falling into place and the creativity can come out more and more. For us specifically we have booked the rentals at this point which has allowed us to see how our tables will start to look. Being a complete DIY bride I think this is my favorite stage in the game, I am getting to see my vision starting to take shape.
I am very excited to see the new stages that will start to form. It has been a source of laughter in our house when we can say "That is for stage 4 Molly and Phil to worry about."
