Wedding Planning (Part 1)

So, you're thinking about getting married?

Well at least we are! I have to admit, this entire wedding planning process is WORK! Philip and I knew from the moment he proposed that we were looking at a bit of a longer engagement, due to a couple of things. For one, money. Planning a wedding cost some serious money! Even if you want to go low key, like we are trying to do, you are still dishing out a lot more than you would expect! Stress, we did not want to be rushed in making decisions and getting things done. We both work full time jobs and didn't want our wedding to be another one of those. Time, and what I mean by this, is time to enjoy this phase in our lives that we are currently in, the engaged phase. For us, this is the only time in our lives, we are ever going to have the title of "engaged" or "fiance" and I really didn't want to rush through this period like a bat out of hell. I wanted to enjoy this time with Philip, as an engaged couple! 

So, as we take this journey, as an engaged couple, I thought it might be fun to share with you guys the steps to planning our wedding, some fun DIY and crafts that we are working on, and more to publicly document our journey down the aisle! 

Hope you guys enjoy, I will be doing a post soon on our venue, why we chose the one that we did, and how to best select a venue for your wedding! This seems to be the first step, at least for us, and really helps start the planning process!
