So it looks like we (I) have decided on a date for the wedding. May 22, 2010!!! I think it has a nice ring to it.
Now all we need to do is pick a venue. I really am leaning towards this one place because we can have everyone stay on the grounds that we are going to have the reception. To me the convenience of it all is way worth it.
This weekend Seth and I started our registry. I can't even begin to describe how incredibly exciting that adventure is. Literally you walk into a store, everyone gives you their undivided attention and you get to walk through the whole story and basically can pick out anything and everything you want!!! It is like a dream come true. Thank God they do not allow me to register for designer handbags or shoes; we would be in big trouble.
This weekend Seth and I will be taking a trip up to Maine to visit his family as well as attend a wedding in Boston for our friends Maria and Sam. I love attending weddings. It is a great opportunity for me to see what I like and don't like.
Very excited also for Monday nights festivities here in DC. My good friend Regan will be in town and my other friend Brinkley is having a cocktail party. On that note, when is it too early to ask your friends to be in your wedding?
I know this is going to sound cheesy but last night while Seth and I were watching TV and I was complaining of yet another stomach ache, I reflected on how great my life has become. Sometimes I feel like it is too good to be true. I might not have the perfect career but I sure do have the perfect family and soon to be family. Thank God!
Next post I think will be about our Florida engagement party, and the fact that my mom has not been able to sleep just thinking about it! She is crazier than I am.
Okay done for now. Make it a great one!

Just Pick A Date!!!
Why is it so hard to pick our wedding date?
Do you have any clue all of the things you need to think about when deciding on the day?
1. What time of year (winter, spring, summer or fall)?
You also need to factor in the colors you will be bringing into the wedding. The last thing you want is spring colors during the fall, although knowing me I think that would be fine.
2. Day or Evening wedding?
3. Inside or outside wedding? If it is outside, you need to arrange an alternative just in case the weather is bad. I have chosen an inside wedding, just to avoid the added stress. Plus, I have the tendency to be steamy in 60 degree weather. I have actually been stalking the farmer's almanac
4. How many people do you invite? Do you really have to invite everyone that is in the family?
5. How do you decide on the wedding party? I don't have a lot of great girlfriends, but the ones that I do have seem to be in a wedding every other weekend so there is a part of me that feels bad asking them to be in yet another wedding......
So, I have until Sunday night to decide on the date/venue. Any ideas for Hendersonville, North Carolina??? I know not necessarily the hot spot for destination weddings.
Oh yeah, and Seth and I get to go register this weekend.
The fun begins.................

Does this make me a blogger?
Okay, so I am completely not qualified to have my own "blog", but I thought this would be a great way for friends & family to keep up to date with our wedding news, events, and everyday fun wedding planning stories.
For the most part, developing this blog is just a way for me to keep all of the day to day memories fresh in my mind so when wedding planning becomes stressful, I can look back and see all of the great events that have happened.
Can someone tell me why the first thing that comes out of everyone's mouth the moment I tell them I am engaged is, "so when is the date". I hadn't even had a chance to digest the whole being engaged feeling, when every family member was pressuring Seth and I to pick a date. We don't officially have a date yet, but are thinking the middle to end of May 2010.
Why wait so long you might ask? Well if you know me, I am a planner. I like to plan things and really want to enjoy this time and not feel rushed. I know Seth and I are going to be together forever so I am not stressed at all.
Looking to the future, I know this blog won't be the place you come to get great insight into wonderful writing, rather just my thoughts on the entire wedding process.
I encourage my friends to make fun of me and the blog at all times.

Till next time............
