Princess Nugget

When it comes to making decisions about...anything...I'm not your girl. I literally hate deciphering between things. I'd much rather have someone do it for me!!! So you can understand that kind of fear I'm facing when trying to plan a wedding...in 2 months. ahhhh. shoot me! For the past 2 weeks its been the hotel situation....like where is everyone going to stay? and how much is this going to cost? Well if you know Napa (which I don't) then you know that it's NOT cheap, we're looking at $200 a NIGHT people! A NIGHT! Therefore, we've opted to go with the town over which everyone says is just as nice or nicer than Napa, Santa Rosa. We went ahead and blocked off the rooms so hopefully everyone will be able to stay in one place and party harty together!
Other not so fun decisions that have to be made are the following:

Flowers: Burgundy, thats all I really care about. Make sure the flowers are a burgundy color. the end. I don't care what type they are, where they are coming from, or how they are getting there, just make sure there are beautiful floral arrangements on the tables and in my hand for the day. And make sure they are BURGUNDY. done. moving on..
Linens: Black linens with a shimmer, shiney something fabric. I really could care less.
Officiant: Since Vince and I are both Catholic and NOT getting married in the church due to a time crunch, we are opting to pick a reverend who will make our ceremony godly and loving. We are having our marriage blessed through the Catholic church once we are back settled in New Orleans. So how do you pick the right reverend? Eenie Menie Minie Moe? ugh.
And lastly the food: The culinary institute has emailed me several menus from previous marriages there but really I want to see an entire list of what they can do. I want to be able to pick whatever I want and say "Yeah, I'll take two of those, three of those and that wedding cake right there." Can that happen? It really better be that simple.

If you know my personality you know that I'm not an organized person. I semi like to plan things, for instance if I'm taking a trip somewhere....I must have an itinerary. I like knowing where I'm going and what to expect next. I really don't like picking out these certain things that are required for a beautiful wedding. Maybe it's laziness or maybe I just don't care....either way, I'd rather not have to do it. All my life I've had people around me who DO care about these small details and who have usually always done these kinds of things for me. Therefore, I trust their judgement and know that they will do a good job at making it superb. Just don't make me!!! Yes, I get that it's MY wedding and I should want to get involved and do all of these things but I really just can't......and then my procrastination gets in the way. With things that I'm not so intersted in doing, I usually wait til the last minute to do them. Unfortunately, these kinds of things cannot wait. English 101 paper, yes. Picking linens, the menu, and flowers....no...that cannot wait, apparently...

So other than the things that I need to get done and decide on, the wedding planning is all falling into place. I'm getting very excited about our day/weekend of activities. I've talked with our photographer and the engagement/wedding pictures are going to be phenomenal! I mean....can you really go wrong with pictures and a wedding in San Francisco and Napa? um, no.

On an exciting wedding note: IT'S DRESS FITTING DAY!!!! I'm so excited to put my dress on today!!!! It's the moment when I most feel like a Princess. And from what I hear...thats the exact feeling you're supposed to have as a bride. :)
