As of today we have officially been engaged for one month! Let me give you an idea of our wedding planning progress thus far. First, here is what we "should have done" up to this point (courtesy of http://www.utahweddings.com/)
-Select rings and order engravings
-Set wedding date and time
-Consider hiring a wedding coordinator
-Determine budget
-Decide on formality, size, and location of the wedding
-Make arrangements for wedding ceremony
-Select and order wedding gown, veil, accessories, and bridesmaids' dresses
-Select and reserve location for reception
-Select caterer; plan menu
-Plan reception, including color scheme and music
-Arrange for any necessary equipment and decorations
-Arrange for photographer, videographer, and flowers
-Book musicians and/or entertainers
-Register for gifts
-Order invitations and thank you cards
-Draw up guest list (including addresses)
-Have mothers choose and coordinate their dresses
-Have engagement pictures taken
-Make final arrangements for reception; pay deposits and sign contract
-Order cake and candies
-Make appointment with doctor for complete physical
-Enlist people to help at the reception
-Make arrangements for transportation
-Plan how to handle traffic and parking at reception
-Plan honeymoon; make travel arrangements
-Address invitations and announcements (these are different???)
-Plan accommodations for out-of-town guests
-Arrange for time off from work
-Begin apartment or house hunting
Now, here's what we have done:
-Set wedding date
-Arranged for ceremony
-Planned honeymoon
-Found photographer
-Registered for gifts
-Determined budget
-Started apartment hunting
Yep, that's about it. We haven't even decided if we're going to do a reception or not, for Pete sake! (Although we have a location should we choose to have one). See, I told you I'm the lamest bride to be ever. Truth be told all I care about is having the ceremony, pictures, a honeymoon, and ok- I'll be honest- some gifts. So at least I've got the stuff I care about covered, right... RIGHT???

lol. as long as you get what you want, that's all that matters. unless you have a reception and I don't get invited. then, all hell breaks loose and I smack you for being so selfish.
I know it's a little late for commenting on this...but it seems like you did everything just right. I commend you for the low-key event. That's what we did, and there was SO much NO STRESS. That's the way to go.
I would like to see pictures of the even! It sounds like you are a little stressed out in the blog, but that is only because of the long list of things to do. My husband and I had to plan our wedding in two months! That was stressful! The hardest part was looking through all the reception centers in utah, and finding one that met our needs, and budget.. But it sounds like everything went well for you, and may you have a long and happy marriage!
