We've made a lot of progress since my last update...
Narrowed down my bridesmaid dresses to two choices.
Picked the final groomsmen.
Got a DJ finalized.
Printed out our Engagement Photos that turned out so excellent!
Start working on a song list.
Narrowed down some invitations
and many other tiny things...
HOWEVER...
Something much bigger has happened and it throws everything off.
Life got lifey and as the clock kept ticking down more and more negatives kept popping up. Finances were becoming an issue. I found out my brother is getting married right before me, so I'm scared my family won't make it to my wedding. I somehow managed to plan this right in the middle of volleyball season, so I would have to miss multiple games and practices. We'll also just be in the middle of our first semester at ODU. The list goes on and on. So I had to take a hard look at it and take it over with Reggie and think about changing the date.
After careful consideration, we decided that it would be better to go with our 2nd date choice which is February 2nd, 2013. It is our actual anniversary. Our first date was at the Polar Plunge on February 2nd, 2005 and it just happens to be the weekend of the Polar Plunge again. 13 is my favorite number as well. Maybe it's fate?
We're just waiting to hear back from our wedding coordinator at the venue to ensure that date is still open and we'll be good to go. It's only 3 months difference. We are NOT putting on wedding off for anything other than timing reasons. There are no cold feet. There are just too many obstacles and we truly want to enjoy this process rather than "make things work".
We hope we aren't inconviencing anything at this point, that's why we're getting the word out now. We hope you support our decision!
