so i'm not engaged yet, but my freaking wedding is haunting me. i don't want to be irresponsible and not plan ahead (especially since i have no idea when we'll be engaged), but i just really want to be married. why do weddings cost so much!? why do we have 240 on our guest list!? why does my family take up 75% of the "family list"? if i didn't have to invite them, this could actually be affordable.
i just want to spend the money we need to spend, and then be like..oh! it came out to the amount we wanted.
so many things in my life are coming up that cost a lot of money. first; rent. i hate paying rent. i hate it. it's money i will never see ever again. second; seminary. i really just hope andrew gets in, we get the scholarship, and rent can be as minimal as possible on campus. third; (this is just a comment) i hate buying people things. i don't know why it has to cost us $x of money to have people come that i HAVE to invite because we are related, but never talk to. If i could have it my way, i would invite people i see on a regular basis, our grandparents, our mutual friends that i want to spend time with, and hardly any extended family.
anyways...i feel like the pressure will be on once we're actually engaged and i want to have this wedding planned as soon as humanly possible. God has been so generous to us already in little things we've thought/planned, so i just hope services like photography/videography/ect will be as inexpensive as humanly possible. Or we could win a million dollars and we can pay off loans/wedding/ect.

i feel ya. weddings are ridiculous, but you'll be surprised at the corners you can cut (ie. satin flowers, etc.) and what you think you care a lot about now but won't when it comes down to the wire (in our case, favors).
it'll work out. and be beautiful. :)
just remember that the wedding is only one day, and the marriage is the thing to be excited about! I was so relieved when our wedding was over and we could just BE married and not worry about the 140 million details anymore. The important thing is God bringing you two together for a lifetime serving him as husband and wife. :) You are alicia A hanson, your wedding will be awesome! I love you!
So you have a big girl blog...
