Planning the Wedding

I was never going to be one of "those girls" who had only dated for a couple of months and then got engaged and then got married right after. I was going to be a good girl and do it "right" long courtship short engagement was always the way to go....at least in my brain.....well things never quite work out they way "they're suppose to" do they?

Jon & I were torn when it came to picking a wedding date. There were rumors that an election might be called, and he works for an MLA, his brother was also getting married in England at the end of December and Jon had been asked to be best man. So the question became....can we afford to get married in December and the have both of us go to England??? After much thought and prayer we decided that it could work (and man we are glad as the election is right when our second choice was).

So December 15th, 2007 became our date. I'm sure that my mom thought I was nuts...not only had our dating experience been short...we were only going to have just 3 months to plan a wedding. I had faith that it could be done.

The planning went pretty good, but only because I have the BEST family ever!!!!! My mom pretty much took the things that I had mentioned for decorations and turned it into more that I could have asked for....especially since I hadn't boughten enough material. Jon made the invitations. Because of all the help, things went pretty smoothly....I think.
