Things I Love Thursday 3.0

So, I'll be honest...my brain loves all things wedding ever since Sunday morning. I have been mentally planning my wedding for years, so now that I have an excuse, I'm ALL OVER IT!!!

In the midst of trying to fix up our house, work on a secret (and exciting) project, and do schoolwork, I'm a BUSY lady..but my brain keeps returning to ONE place...our wedding! I promise that the blog won't turn into a wedding blog, but I get at least one week of excitement, right?

TILT - Wedding Version! :)

1. Right now, our main focus is finding a venue. We have a few top contenders, but we won't make any decisions for sure until Mardi Gras break (after we visit a few of the venues). We originally were looking for something close, but lately, a destination wedding has been in our wedding dreams. We're on the hunt for something near a lake and/or in a barn! Want some ideas of things we are looking into?

2. Next, the date. We are looking at a pretty long engagement. We want to get married in October 2015. We've both always wanted a Fall wedding, and October 2014 is just a little too close! I don't want to be stressed about wedding planning, so we decided that October 2015 is perfect! 

3. Now, the colors. Ahh....this is where I'm torn completely. Part of me wants to do bright colors because it seems more ME, part of me wants to stick with yellow and gray because those are my favorite colors, and part of me keeps going back to cream/white and gold because they just make me happy. 

4. THE DRESS. I haven't even gotten close to dress shopping, but I have in mind exactly what I want, and I can't wait to get into a dress shop to try it on! :)

5. The extras. We want our wedding to be a FUN day for everyone invited. We want it to include games, a kiddie corner, and maybe a few other surprises... :)

6. The groom. Beyond everything else..the food, the venue, the photographer, etc...the main thing is this - I'm marrying the best guy I've ever known. I don't care if we get married at a 7-11. I'm just happy to be doing it with him. :)

Oh, and on that note, can we all say in unison...
