BFC proposed to me on July 3, 2010. He mentioned that he had given himself a deadline of asking me before the fourth. At least he'll probably never forget the day he actually proposed. Funny enough, he proposed while we were watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." I joked with him that we could have a "big fat Japanese" wedding.
I've been trying to stay on top of everything by beginning my planning early. I started the day after his proposal. You know how everyone says that most girls dream of their wedding day from the time they're little...honestly, I was never like that. I never really liked to dress up or put on makeup. I was always in my shorts and t-shirt lounging on the couch. Now that I'm actually going to get married, I guess I'm putting more thought into what I really want for my wedding. It seems to be getting bigger and bigger than what I initially thought.
The first thing I tackled was the guest list. I wrote down everyone who I wanted to invite and asked BFC to do the same. His mom was nice enough to type out their side of the family. I don't think I'm done with the list yet, but I'm going through it slowly and surely. Then, I started thinking about the centerpieces. I've always had a thing for nice centerpieces, but didn't think that having flowers would be good enough, so I decided to make my own, although it may take me a while to do them. I ended up going to the library to borrow a ton of books to read through about keeping a budget and not going overboard.
BFC, my MOH, and I are planning on going to the Bridal Expo in a few weeks to see the vendors and maybe even get some deals. We'll see what happens.
