Bad at Keeping Up

Alexis here! I'm terrible at keeping up with this thing.

Still maintaining my laissez-faire attitude about wedding planning, which has been both good and bad. I think things will turn out nicely, but there is still a lot left to do and not a whole lot of time to do it!

Our guest list keeps expanding, despite all our efforts not to let that happen. It's okay - it will still be a small shindig, and though our budget has not grown with the guest list, that just means smaller pieces of cake for each person. Or something like that. :)

So, here's what's worked out:

WEDDING AND RECEPTION LOCATION: Church of the Redeemer, Washington, GA

OFFICIANT: Rev. (Dr.) Denni Moss

MUSIC: iPod playlist, buddy! Need to rent speakers.

HONEYMOON: Savannah, GA (details TBD)

...PHEW! There is a lot left to do, but all of the important parts are locked in place. We have a place to be married, the people we love coming, someone to marry us, and someone to capture the memories. Everything else is small potatoes! As long as we are married at the end of the day, it will have been successful.

More to come soon. Well, sooner than 6 months, like last time.
