02 April

As you have likely guessed, Gabe and I are talking marriage. No, he hasn't proposed. Yet. It's interesting because I never imagined it being this way. We're discussing wedding stuff before we're engaged! It just seems weird to me. We agreed that we do not want a long engagement. I told him that I needed probably about 6 months to plan a wedding without totally stressing out. He was hoping for something more like 3. We also agreed that we would like to be married sometime before the end of this year, though we're holding off on setting a date until we're actually engaged. Gabe wants me to go ahead and start picking things out, shopping, etc. right now. "It's that much you'll have out of the way when I propose to you, and then it won't take 6 months!" he says. It just seems strange to me to do that. Of course, I do have ideas in mind of what I want/like. But to actaully start planning a wedding before the proposal ever takes place??? I don't know........ He's not really adamant about it or anything, just kinda jokingly trying to convince me that it's ok. My roommate/best friend Gracie says go for it! She's so excited and ready to help! And the sooner I start planning, according to her, the less stressful the whole thing will be. My sister-in-law/best friend Elizabeth is much more hesitant. I'm not sure why. I think she tends to agree with me that it seems a little backwards.

Well, so far this is what I have picked out -

The dress is one I found while searching for hairstyles. It is the absolute perfect dress for me! However, I have yet to find it for sale. I've been searching online for weeks and haven't found one like it. I hope to at least find something similar. I would like to have a kind of fantasy/fairytale-ish theme. We're also planning to do an outdoor wedding. That's as far as I've gotten. I'd like to gather some ideas and inspiration, but just not sure how far to go on the actual planning. Maybe he'll just ask me to marry him real soon and I won't have to worry about that anymore. Wink

So exciting! My first thought was the dress is very olden times princess-y and then you said fantasy/fairytale-ish so you're right on the money! It's very sweet. Love the hair. Well have fun planning. I did mine in 6 months and it worked out well (mine too was outdoors, so beautiful!). My favorite part was looking through all of the bridal magazines. Most of it wasn't me but it was fun to look at. Anyway, hope the proposal is soon. Only 9 months left in the year. ;o)

Hugs!
