365 Days to go

Sneak Peak: Ceremony Site

We went to Oak Glen today to see our venue. There were a ton of kids there on a field trip so it was pretty lively. The location where our ceremony will take place is above the grounds where the main house and barn are located so by the time we got up there it was nice and quiet and we had the area to ourselves. It is SO pretty!!! When we took the family out there in February there were no leaves on the trees and the grass wasn't very vibrant. The coordinator told us it would be "a little more green in April" so I expected just that, a LITTLE green. It was COMPLETELY green! The trees are filled with leaves and the ground has much more color. It's so beautiful. God willing, it will be just as gorgeous this time next year! It's such a great place and we're so happy to have found it! It was really cool to stand there with my future husband and envision our big day taking place in that very spot. I'm so excited to marry the man of my dreams in just one short year :) 

After our visit to the ceremony site we ate at the restaurant from where the food will come for the wedding. It was really good! Robert especially loved the homemade applesauce. It's just not Oak Glen without a taste of something made with apples. It was a really great day. 365 days and counting!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

We had our engagement photo session scheduled for March but it decided to rain on our chosen day. We figured we have a year so we weren't terribly upset over it :)

I've had two dreams now about the BIG day. The first one consisted of grass table cloths and not enough centerpieces.... DON'T EVEN ASK! Luckily, the last one I had was a lot less stressful. All I can remember about it now, is that I was wearing a dress that was completely the opposite of my actual dress. Yes, I found my wedding dress! I've kept this little bit of information quiet because I felt like it might be weird that I found it 14 months in advance! What can I do, right? Remember when I said we're a little ahead of schedule? Well, I meant it. We don't have much to worry about until it comes time to pick out flowers and decorations. I think I'll take my time over the next year and slowly collect as we see fit. If it weren't for my anxiety ridden personality, I would say the planning for this wedding is pretty low key.

I have a vacation coming up soon. Robert and I are going to make a trip back out to Oak Glen to see our venue in the state it should be in by this time next year. I'm really excited!
