Excited beyond excited, anybody else?

Congratulations! It's going to be great

View Quoted Comment Tbh, my FH and I could get married at the justice of the peace and I'd be happy. 🤷🏾‍♀️😄💜💜💜💜💜

P that is really exciting. And congratulations to you. Everything about the wedding excites me. I can even watch videos of other peoples weddings and it makes me happy. I'm so tearfully happy about everything these days.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! Congratulations to you too! It tends to be pretty difficult to excite me but it'll probably get easier as we get closer to the date and actually hammer out details. I like watching other people's wedding videos too but with both of my parents being part of the industry. I find myself critiquing the decorations, camera angles and the lighting more than actually watching the videos. I've caught myself doing it to movies and TV shows sometimes too. Lol. I think it's good to be excited.
You're about nine months from your date, what has been the most difficult part of planning your wedding?

View Quoted Comment The most difficult has been the guest list. My FH has a lot of siblings and first cousins. What I thought would be about 150 guests, is creeping up to 250. It's anxiety provoking! Makes me wanna holla!

View Quoted Comment That, I could see as anxiety producing. I can't relate, though bc our guest list is so massive that another hundred people probably wouldn't shake me up too much.

We're planning on 1000 guests. You read that right: one thousand. I feel my inner introvert come out every time I say it. Lol. I'm an extrovert by nurture. Lol. The type of person who's comfortable where she's confident and confident where she knows what she's doing and can be a real nervous nelly otherwise=inner introvert with an extrovert coating. Extrovert by nurture.

View Quoted Comment 1000!!! Let me shut up now!! I can handle 250 then! That's great!!! Happy planning 😊😊

View Quoted Comment 🤣 The crazy part is both of our families are so huge that they're over half of (if not three quarters of) that count. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Even crazier? HE wants the big wedding. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ At least he's helping me plan. REALLY involved in the process, too.

View Quoted Comment I'm in the same boat as you. He wants the big wedding, not me! Lol. My FH, is also assisting, which I am totally shocked. So I'm just going with the flow of things.

Tbh, until my FH I hadn't heard of many guys getting involved in the planning and almost none being this helpful. The funny thing is, so far we've picked all the same things.

View Quoted Comment That's great news and makes the planning easier!!

View Quoted Comment It really is and does! I think it's also quite a bit telling about us as a couple. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I hope you all have as much fun planning as we are. We're about 1/4 of the way through our planning and still have 437 days until we walk down the aisle.

View Quoted Comment It has been fun and we have learned a lot. And learned what is most important to us both. We have quite a bit done. But only 249 days left to plan. Engagement pics coming soon and save the dates. It all seems surreal.

View Quoted Comment We decided we wanted to get a jump on the planning bc we wanted to have a cushion of time in case anything went wrong or if we have to replace a vendor. We're hoping neither one is true but we're both deeply aware of reality.
I am squealing in excitement for you! We haven't gotten to take ours yet and it looks like there's going to be snow on the ground for them. There's a good four inches of snow CURRENTLY on the ground. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I hope everything continues to go smoothly for you!

View Quoted Comment I literally started as soon as we had a date. I hate to rush and I like to be prepared and having extra time allows for any issues if they arise. Prayerfully, they don't. Thanks so much. I'm excited and nervous about our engagement photos because my FH hates taking pics 🥴

View Quoted Comment Girl, I'm nervous about ours because my FH is better at taking pics than I am. I mean being in them. He's a born natural!

View Quoted Comment Well hopefully once you get started he'll make you feel just as comfortable as he is.

View Quoted Comment That's certainly the hope! Lol. I don't doubt he will though. After all he is coming almost two thousand miles to have them taken.

View Quoted Comment That is so exciting!!! 2000 miles!!! That's a hike and makes it even more exciting. Where on Earth is he coming from!?
