Making Wedding Plans

I can remember making fun of my co-worker Emily for not having her October wedding details set back in January and frantically helping her evaluate a few things. Her wedding is in less than a week and throughout the process, I have watched her sweat out some issues, although it didn't seem that bad.

Now I'm trying to do all that... in 6 months... in another city!

That's right folks, Jerry and I are getting married in Vegas in April, at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. We are currently waiting on the coordinator to let us know what Thursday dates in April are available - yes, you can get married any day and any time in Vegas!

I have NO desire whatsoever to do the big church wedding. Jerry has already done that anyway. I cannot envision myself in a big church full of people that I don't really know that well (like dad's work friends). I don't want everything to be all commercial and to worry about details that won't make a bit of difference in 5 or 10 years. I want to be able to tell my children and grandchildren about how much fun I had at my wedding. 

I am lucky to be the second born. I think that my father had enough of the big wedding planning after my sister got hitched a few years ago. He also says that there are some things that he would change about his wedding. But most importantly, he told me to work all the details out with my mom and he will just write the checks!

I am also lucky to be marrying such a wonderful man. Do you know he actually said something along the lines of it being my day and to do what I want and to just tell him where to be and when? Guess we will have to plan a trip out to Vegas sometime soon to firm up the details... until then, Bridget is under my employ as my Vegas Liaison!
