After doing some quick numbers on Excel, and calling a few people for advice, I think that we may be actually having the wedding this December 28th! I'm a little scared, as I thought I would have had more time to lose the weight, but I don't want to risk getting pregnant next year and postponing the wedding - again!
I'm in the middle of finding a reception hall, and my family is taking care of all the rest. To help save money, we are going to be asking all the guests to bring an item - like a potluck. Tacky? Maybe. But I do have an additional reason for it. I thought that it would be nice to have everyone bring in their favorite dish to make. When they get to the reception, there will be a box for them to put their recipe(s) in. After the honeymoon - if I have money to HAVE a honeymoon - I will take all the recipes, type them up, and make it into a book. Again, some people may still think it's weird, but I'm not asking for gifts, and homemade food tastes a lot better than catered food anyway.
I'm thinking about having a Blue/Navy Blue wedding theme, since it'll be in the deep of winter. Almost like a sapphire color. I'm hoping to have 5 bridesmaids, and 5 groomsmen, along with 2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers.
I'm thinking about going completely cheap on almost everything except the DJ. I'm already married anyway, now it's time to par-tay! I wonder how many people will be able to make it from Virginia? Since I'm not paying for people's food, I want to have between 100 - 200 people! That should be fun, right?
