I'll start off with answering some of the most common wedding questions...
Q1. When is the wedding?
A: No idea. Really. Right now we are planning towards the summer of 2013. What day specifically? Haven't even thought about it. What month? Uhm. I guess you can say that we narrowed it down to 3 possible ones. Ha. Right now we are happy with ambiguity.
Q2. What are your wedding colors going to be?
A: Probably loosely defined. D and I share a love for green tones so that will definitely be there (maybe even a touch or two of Seahawk-proud-neon-green). Other than that, probably some yellow tones to match, and a heaping ton of loving neutrals. Thinking white and grays mostly. Oh, but wood tones will definitely be invited to the party, too. Don't think colors, think tones.
Here is a snapshot of paint samples I picked up to help illustrate the idea. Mhm, and while you're at it, you can be sympathetic of the terrible lighting a rainy Washington day can provide. Ha.
Q3. What kind of wedding are you going to have?
A: a fun one. We're pretty much just hoping to have a big ol' party with drinking, dancing, playing, laughing, and all-around-general-merry-making. Style-wise? Thinking simple, sweet, handmade, and rustic. Dang, my heart might break if I didn't DIY as much as my little hands could claw at for our wedding. And after that heartbreak, well I may just die from the sheer monetary amount spent on buying everything. Pretty much bad news all around. Thus, I have to DIY for my health.
Q4. Do you know where you are going to have the wedding?
A: yes. Definitely yes. We're planning a backyard wedding at my parent's farm. Okay, I guess it isn't a farm in the traditional sense (there are no animals and they don't grow anything but weeds) but I think the presence of a tractor and a barn combat that nicely. Combat that well enough to equate to a farm. Here's a picture I snapped about a year ago to add to my embarrassingly already established 'wedding' folder. Okay. You can share something embarrassing now if you want so we are even. No takers? mmk.
Q5. What is your budget?
A: In the world of wedding, our budget seems minimal at $5,000 max. In the normal world, $5,000 green ones for one party is ridiculous to us. D and I have a lot of dreams (including traveling and building our own dream house someday) that we would rather spend the money on. Beautiful, fun, and meaningful does not depend on money. I'm determined to prove it. Big fancy parties are awesome, they just aren't right for us.
This leads to a controversial subject. D and I decided that we don't want to accept money from anyone for our wedding. Our wedding is our party. Just like our choice to marry, we are doing it for ourselves. We just want the people that matter most to come and get their grooves on and celebrate with us.
Okay, I think that is all the wedding talk I can handle for now.
Did any of you know exactly what style you wanted right away? Have a date that you dreamed of since you were little? Have a champagne wedding on a budlight budget?
