We're having a wedding!

I might as well get this out of the way fairly early on.  Most of my free time these days is spent thinking about weddings*.  After 3+ years together, we are engaged and planning a wedding.  Because of my current status as a part-time grad student, full-time employee, part-time employee, and all around busy bee, we're planning a long engagement.  We got engaged in March (6+ months ago already!?!), and are looking at Fall of 2014 for our wedding.  Fall is my favorite season - the weather, the smell, the colors, the pumpkin-flavored-everythings, cozy sweaters, comfortable slippers and warm blankets!  I've always liked the idea of getting married in the fall, and incorporating my favorite flower into the wedding.  I have loved tiger lilies since I was in high school, and dreamed of having tiger lilies and orange dresses in my wedding.  As the time to plan gets nearer, I'm not sure how much I will stick with my original ideas.  Sometimes real life (like money) gets in the way of dreams.

*  Many of my future posts will probably focus more on wedding details, because I don't want to bore my fiance, friends & family with the minutiae, but need a place to vent.  Hopefully doing this will help me sort through my thoughts and even keep track of details over such a long planning period.  I also want to use this as a place to display my trials (and errors) on all the little things that I intend to DIY for the wedding, without posting it all to my facebook. :)
