Up Coming Wedding

Lately I have been very busy putting together my upcoming wedding. I am getting married to my wonderful fiance' on June 2nd 2012. We have a very tight budget and I think the stress of staying within it is making me crazy.

We are having our wedding at a hotel which takes up the majority of our budget. We could have rented a hall and spent less but we had a couple reasons in mind. First of all we have been to several weddings that have been hosted at hotels and enjoyed the fact that we could go back to our room after the wedding instead of having to drive home. Not having to drive home will allow some of our guest to relax a little more and would keep them from endangering themselves and other if they plan on drinking at our event.


The other main reason is that my family lives all over the place. They would have to find a hotel anyways, this way they can stay at the hotel for a great price and not have to worry about renting a car or other transportation.

To cut costs we are also having the ceremony and reception in the same place. This means, no need for a limo. It also cuts the cost of travel for our guest. A win win for sure!

Stay tuned for some more money saving ideas on planning a wedding as well as some other creative idea we are using that are upcoming trends in wedding planning.

Vacation Time

You may have noticed that I have been a little absent this past week and a half. This is due to my fiance and I having several days off which is extremely unusual. We work opposing schedules him monday thru friday 9-5 and myself retail which means working every weekend with my days off during the week. So basically we don't get to spend days together unless we request time off.


My fiance was off this whole week which was wonderful and meant we could spend some time working on our upcoming wedding! (Stay tuned to some upcoming post about how I am designing our wedding).


The main areas were accomplished was the cake and the music for the ceremony. I can't wait to share with you the vendors we have found for our wedding. So far they have been fabulous and have made things very stress free.


Another big event during this time period was my Birthday! Well my birthday wasn't really the big event, its what I received for my birthday. My fiance adopted a cat for my birthday!


Her name is Vavita and is an affectionate and playful 2 year old. I am so excited to have her join our family and you better believe there will be some upcoming posts on her!
