The First Story


Here it is, ladies and gentleman. The months we have all been waiting for. We’re getting married! It’s every little girls dream to marry her prince and live happily ever after. Every little girl tried on her mother’s wedding dress and made herself a scrapbook of her fantasy wedding down to every miniscule detail.
Not me.
I wanted to swim in the pool, play in the yard, or watch a movie. Never plan my wedding. Not having any sort of ideas on what I wanted for our wedding or any sort of vision makes things more difficult from the get go.  
After the daze wore off of Charles (the fiancé) and me from the proposal (you can view the proposal on our wedding website, www.charlesandmichele.com), the inescapable wave of panic set in. What is to come in the next several months of our lives before the wedding?
·         “We have to pick a color scheme?”
·         “What do you mean we can’t elope in Vegas, mom?”
·         “Why do we have to take a sex ed class?”
·         “So our dogs can’t be the flower girls?”
·         “What the heck is a sand ceremony?”
Listen, girls and guys. I have no wedding planning experience whatsoever. I hardly know what I want in a wedding, I just want it to “look nice” and I want people to have a good time. I know this is not the status quo for typical women, but if you know me, I’m not like typical women, and if you don’t know me, you’ll find out that I’m not like typical women.
If you’re like me, are new to the wedding planning scene, are in for some laughs (because I’m sure I’ll create many with my tales of confusion and wedding havoc) then stay tuned. My plan is to log all of my wild wedding experiences with you all, and see how it all pans out in the end. Here’s to wedding season and to the brides that don’t have a clue!
 xoxo
Michele
