The Date Is Set!

After much deliberation (on Lee's part who insisted he check the auspiciousness of the date), we decided on November 10th, 2012 as our wedding date. 11/10/12. At first he wanted 12/12/12 but that's a Tuesday and I'm not having a Tuesday wedding.

On Friday we're going to check out a possible venue. A Victorian style historic house that allows outside catering & alcohol which is very important to us. I want to do my own thing and not be limited to in-house catering that most wedding venue's have as requirements.

I've only been engaged about a week now and I already have a limited tolerance on wedding planning limits. And the best indicator of that limit is when I get snippy with my mother on anything wedding related. At that point, I just say "I've had enough for today" and we change the topic until the next day.

It's so easy to get overwhelmed with all the details at one time when it's not even necessary. So I have to consciously remind myself to focus. Right now the focus is the date (check) and the venue.

IT'S GONNA BE A LONG YEAR!
