410 Days

Okay so I finally took the advice of "these people" and stopped thinking wedding wedding wedding. But now I can't make myself start again.

I am sure there are a tons of things I could be doing.

But to say that we want a simple wedding is an understatement.  I don't see a need for lots of Fancy smancy decoration. A few simple decorations will do the trick. I don't need an amazing expensive bouquet.. A few pretty flowers will do.

I don't need to hire a dj because a toast master will do just fine announcing our first dance or any funny games that might happen and music will be provided lovingly through either Itunes or Spotify. Done and dusted..

Photographer is a question mark. I think it's important to have some professionals done, family, Olov and I, a few candids or the ceremony. But the rest.. well that should be taken care of since we will provide some camera's on the tables.. Too bad they didn't have cheap one time digital cameras... Actually just cheap decent digital cameras would be nice.. Anyways moving on!

We don't have to pay for the Church (it's a swedish thing) and the reception area is seriously cheap. It's $347 for 12 hours.. Pretty sweet right! Now we just have to hope we can book the church and reception area for the day we want..  Crossing Fingers tightly and hoping....

So where are the big expenses....

The dress - but I don't want anything fancy and insane anyways
The tux - Okay they are expensive but probably not as expensive as the dress
The cake - it's covered.. Thanks Grandma S
The food - pretty expensive ....  
The Invitations - I'm doing them myself, and they will be great but probably not too fancy.. Calligraphy anyone?
The hair and Make up - okay questions mark. I'm guessing expensive! damn!

I feel pretty good about this. Granted there are a lot of questions still like.... for instance will we book the church we want. and do we have a fall back idea. But There's time Right?
