Wedding Planning
Asking Mara to marry me was probably the most significant decision I took in my life so far. It was also probably one of the best decisions I have made to date. After years and years of wishy-washiness, sitting on the pot, and on-and-off bachelorhood being engaged to Mara feels great.
Helping to plan a wedding is a completely different story. I put a brief top level list of tasks based on our experience:
• Select a venue
• Make a wedding invite list (hands down the most hand wringling and difficult task to date)
• Buy Dress
• Buy Tux
• Write and organize Invitations
• Pick a Band
• Pick a photographer
• Organize a florist
• Pick ceremony and officiant
• Organize a website with all necessary info
• Select rehersal dinner venue
• Create rehersal dinner invite list
• Pick maids of honor and groomsmen
• Organize (or help to) a bachelor/bachelerette party
Its a good thing Mara’s parents have done this already with Hallie. More on Wedding Planning later.
