Want to know where we are getting married??
Vaksala Kyrka..
The church was built in late 1100's and is awesome... I'm trying to find a link in English.
We are officially getting married on August 20th at 15:30 or for you Canadians 3:30pm

Most sincere apologies for becoming "that" blogger... Or lack there of!
Things are really kicking off next week..
Monday we can officially book the church.. So that's huge, but bad news the churches reception area is apparently not built for dancing "see footloose" so if we want to dance we need to go else where..
Luckily there are a few other places we are looking at so it's not exactly a Crisis.. YET!
Next week we will book the photographer.. Olov I'm looking at you,... We are booking the photographer.
And we are going to put some time and effort into the what menu we want.. yes we have decided on a caterer.
The Cake we think will be done by an up and coming bakery owner.. A friend of a friend who makes the most incredible cakes i have ever seen.. I will get her blog on here one day soon.
Cake flavor.. I'm going for red velvet... mmmm we will see what Olov thinks, but I'm pulling for it. Are there rules for cake flavors.. What does it say about me for wanting red velvet?
anyways so next week is a BIG OLE week.. And I am excited... oh yes. Now can I just get Olov to sit down with me and decide on a reception area.... Cross your fingers for me people..
till next time which I am assuming will be Monday!

I'm not sure what's happened but everything is at a stand still.
November 1st feels like the date when things will really start happening for us in the whole get your shit together world of planning a wedding. You are probably thinking why November 1st.. Well that's the day we can book the church/reception area. So it's really holding things up, that and we are being lazy. Like it should not take a year to plan a wedding.
Yes PAST SELF a year feels like to long to plan things out. Or maybe I am being a time optimist and then we are all in trouble.
Okay FUTURE SELF! hope you're not getting screwed over by me....

A tiny unrelated rant
The other day I was watching an American "reality" show and it was a woman talking about how hard it was for her when she was apart from her husband. FOR A WEEKEND!!
At first I had nothing to say about it but the more she went on the more I wanted to reach in and slap her. Who are these people who HAVE to be around the other half all the time.
What the heck is wrong with them? I love having me time, and considering Olov is gone usually all summer and for a month or two during the spring I think I have my fair share of alone time plus some that I don't want but I sure as Hell don't need to have him around all the time.
I don't think we would ever last if we were. Where does the individuality go when you revolve your whole life around another person?
So I would just like to say that I am extremely thankful for the fact that
a) I have a job which means I come and go all week.
b) I have friends
c) I have a boyfriend who has friends
d) We have active lifestyles that don't necessarily involve each other but always can
e) we enjoy time apart from each other and even ask for Alone time if we are around each other too often
I think it's heathly and normal and I am truly truly thankful that I am not an empty shell of a person if he is not around.
Even if a little piece of my heart is missing when we aren't together!

362 days and a little more calm
Okay okay I've had some time to get over the mass spam of my account with Wedding this and wedding that..
I could rant a little more actually but I won't.
Olov and I are starting to get things going, We called some caterers and a cake shop.. YUMMM Cake tasting!!!
We called the reception hall caretaker only to find out that he is currently on vacation.. Hey even care takers need a little vacay right!
I've decided to go with pre made free invitations (thanks Merium) and will be sending out some "save the date" cards ASAP! so umm don't be too disappointed, it's not going to be fancy.
We've agreed on budget, we've agreed on flowers and color and decorations.
We've agreed that Olov needs dance lessons.. Well maybe we will just dance together a couple of times a week.. We do not need a fancy dance (althought I kind think it would be fun) but then think maybe it's a little over done.. Who knows.
I've put some MAJOR thought into my wedding dress and completely changed my mind on what I want like a thousand times. I guess I will just have to get into a wedding dress shop and try something on.. EVENTUALLY yes I'm putting it off.
It's exciting and scary and since I have no idea what I am doing it's even more scary.
there are questions like
do we want a religious ceremony? keeping in mind that Olov's family is religioius and mine is not
what kind of traditions do the families have?
blah blah blah blah...
I'm going to bike home now to my fiance and talk about our days and enjoy some time together and think about this another day. When we can both sit down and talk about it.
Who says the Bride has to do it all!
