Getting things and ideas together is very difficult and I was under the impression that grooms don't really care about the details of the wedding. I prepared myself in thinking that I would be doing this all alone and just going over final things with him. To my surprise, when we began to think about the location of the ceremony and colors Jason was all for giving his opinions and even saying no to some of my opinions...lol. I thought it was funny because I never really heard that before(a guy being so involved). I then got a little irritated because he wasn't saying yes to anything...I then realized he needs to get the visual!... so I put stuff together to get him looking at colors and then he was getting a better mental picture. He's made this process so far very pleasurable. He's very interested in looking at venues and colors and looking through books with me. He's supportive and just wants me not to be stressed, which I think may be more for his benefit in the end. Either way I know he's a keeper! lol

I am happy to announce that I have two out of the three checked off!!! I have always loved this church and remember thinking a while back that I would love to get married in this particular church. I have choosen St. Bernardine's Catholic Church in Suitland, Md. My mother use to help at the church and the pastor there. Although the pastor, Fr. DePorter has left that location he has remained very much a friend of the family. He retired and is now helping at other churches to occupy his time. There was no question in my mind that I wanted him to marry Jason and I...and sure enough as soon as he heard I was engaged, he volunteered his services. He's a very kind man! He sent me music tapes for the ceremony to see what songs I might like, but ummm I think I will be searching some more. Fr. DePorter has met Jason, and his family, blessed my engagement ring and is asking questions about reception venues. I think its pretty funny that he's soo involved, but I think its a great thing. I love having all this support and love.


I have searched for reception venues and mainly have liked 2 the most in my location in MD. Martin's Crosswinds, and Oxon Hill Manor. The prices are pretty resonable for what they offer, however I'm in the dilema that I'm trying to buy a house and help pay for the wedding. So I need to cut the fat out somewhere. The church has a very nice reception hall "Sienna hall." Its its own building diagonally behind the church. I have to do the number crunching to see if there will be a big difference in prices. Hopefully everything will turnout PERFECT!

 

DATES and COLORS

Today I woke up refreshed, renewed and ready to really get knee deep in this whole planning of this wedding. I have had different ideas jumbled and running around in my head and could never see a clear picture. I wanted to change that today! We decided on a date August 28 2010, the same weekend that he proposed at Niagra Falls!!!! :) So since its in August I want bright vibrant pretty colors. My finacee, Jason loves the color blue so we are working other colors around it to go. So far we've been through a deep rich bright blue with orange, a Hawaiian Blue with yellow or more of a lighter blue with lime green or green apple color. So we really like the blue and yellow and the blue and green. He likes the green color and I like the yellow color and i'm wondering if there is a way to incorporate it all with out it all being a disaster of colors thrown everywhere.
I'm trying to make this a very budget friendly event. We are just starting out and I would really rather have good money we've saved spent on our house when we buy it, which is also in the works. Most of my planning and decorating will be done my myself and friends of course. Where would you really be without those loving bff's that are willing to hear you go on about colors and will sit with you till 1am doing favors or putting organizing arrangements. I can just imagine mine....histerical because we are so deliriously tired that we will be laughing at everything. That's really the part that I can't wait for.
