Wedding Planning... Oh Noes!

When Matt and I first got engaged, I bought a ton of wedding magazines and was super excited about planning our wedding. The glossy Martha Stewart images are so perfect! But once I started actually looking at things in real life, I was blown away by how much things cost...

We looked at having a destination wedding in Florida at a resort where I have vacationed with my parents for years.... It sounded perfect until we learned about the $10,000 (!) catering minimum. We are still looking at a destination wedding, but now we are thinking an off-season cruise to the Caribbean could be really fun.

Getting married on a cruise would limit my options, as far as picking out every little detail. But maybe that is a good thing; it would allow me to leave the details to someone else while Matt and I spend time relaxing with our friends and family. It is more important to spend that time making memories with the people we care about, than to spend it worrying about if the table linens match the plates...

Thats where we are for now. More updates in the future...
