gettin' hitched

well. here is a subject i haven't touched yet. wedding planning. for the last, oh, 6 months or so, matty and i have been talking about plans for our wedding. with everything already figured out, colors, food, blah blah blah, we had been waiting to set a date until we found out the 411 on his deployment. now that we have that long awaiting timetable, i don't know what to do about setting a date. plan plan plan. we have a small budget, we have our guestlist, i have the dress. the dudes aren't wearing tuxedo's or anything fancy like that. we are going way simple. with that said, here are the options:

1.) matty gets back and completely done around august 2010. we had been talking about planning it for may 2011, but shit. that seems really REALLY far away. we don't need that much time to plan. and i'm not sure if i want to wait that long.

b.) we have also been toying with the idea of planning the shit out of it while he is gone, so we can do the damn thing in october 2010. i like the sound of this. i just don't know if i want to do all the planning while he is gone. i know he wants to be somewhat a part of the planning proccess (FOOD tasting... and the like) but i know i have a ton of support from my ladies, not to mention my family, AND his. with many a helping hand.

it isn't going to be a super fancy shindig with sparkles and perfectly placed rhinestones. we are both simple folks with simple tastes. that day is about our friends and family being there to witness the dedication of our lives to each other. oh yeah, and good food and flowing drinks. so i don't know what to do with this. my mind changes at least three times a day. who has two thumbs and obviously needs to pow wow with some friends for their thoughts? me.
