Here Comes the Not-Detail-Oriented Bride...



Over the course of the next 18 months I will be planning a wedding. 

That statement has and still makes me shutter time-to-time. 

Every girl, since birth, has dreamed of her wedding; her dress, her choice of flowers and decorations, even what venue would be chosen. FALSE. (At least for me.) 

Of course I have thought about my wedding, literally everyone has, but I have never gotten to the details. I knew I wanted my family there, I wanted to have fun and last, but not least, I wanted it to be unique, but that sounds like every wedding I have ever been to, so my previous wedding planning thoughts don’t help much. 

I struggle and have always struggled with details. I am a big picture thinker.  I don’t spend hours picking out colors or caring what time an event should be. I don’t even worry about using a level when I hang photos. I usually eyeball it and hope for the best. My thinking is hey, at least it finally made it up on the wall. 

The wedding planning process shall prove to be an interesting one, especially with an organized and detail-loving fiancée. Let the stress begin and the memories be made while planning the family-oriented, fun and unique wedding of 2014. If I have bloopers along the way, I will be sure to share them. I mean I have seen Bridesmaids… something is bound to happen, let’s face it.
