I feel that many people tend to dislike the idea of a girl planning aspects of her wedding before she's actually engaged. It makes the girl seem desperate for a marriage and conjures images of a bride dragging her fiance down the aisle.
But this was not me. I was never a "waiting girl" whining about a lack of commitment from her boyfriend. As I mentioned in my last post, Mishka and I have been extremely committed to each other since the first weeks we were dating. So the question was never "would we get married", but "when will we".
So what made me start preplanning my wedding if not an obsession with getting my M.R.S. degree?
Well, really it was my future sister-in-law's wedding. I volunteered to help her on a variety of wedding related tasks since she and her fiance were often too busy to get everything done between them. And in coming into contact with wedding material, my own initial vision of what Mishka and my special day was born. And once I started I couldn't get enough. Because planning made what is sure to be one of the greatest days of our lives feel imminent.
And honestly? I am SO glad I preplanned. Seeing as we are moving very quickly on the early stages of our ceremony & reception planning, all the lists I made and the wedding journal I so meticulously kept, have helped ENORMOUSLY in these first few weeks.
So don't automatically judge the preplanners ;).
OH! And also, happy 3 year anniversary to Mishka and me. I have a very sweet "how we met" post scheduled for later today so stay tuned!
