Ever since Luis and I got engaged, I’ve been getting asked a variety of wedding-themed questions: did you set a date? Where are you having it? How’s the planning going? Etc.
The answers are:
Yes, now we have. We have a date.
We don’t know yet. Apparently the venues where we want to have it are already booked as they’re private estates/vacation rentals. The ones that are available are too expensive for us. *coughcastlecough*
It’s going. It’s slow, but it’s going.
Then there are the questions about what I’m working on when I say I’m working on wedding stuff and the thing is, I can’t tell you. I can’t tell anyone.
Why?
Because the stuff we’re working on are in preparation of proposing to our wedding party.
Let me tell you, having multiple close girlfriends as well as those I’m obligated to ask makes this part very stressful. There are two women, three even, whom I want to ask and have as a part of my party, but seeing as I already have 11 on my roster…
I am lowkey hoping some of my girls say no. I know that’s the complete opposite of what most people want, but seriously…
Of course I could make this extremely easy on myself and just ask my matron of honor and like 2 bridesmaids and call it a day.
Problem is, I also want my fiancé’s daughters in the party, and he has a good friend he wants in the party, and then I have a great friend from art school, and—
I’m at 11.
So I have been badgering my fiancé to, like, think of more men he’d like in his party. I don’t mind if the numbers are uneven by 1 or 2, which I think we were able to get to.
My mom told me I should only have 2-3 bridesmaids.
Oh man, Mom, oh man….
Regardless, we’re working on these proposal boxes that have cut/applied vinyl on them with a funny statement on the front with the question popped on the inside. We’re filling them with custom curated goodies and waiting for things to come in for the boxes.
I ~promise~ once everything is said and done and our party is finalized, I will do a whole post on everything we did with photos (and maybe some video, not sure yet).
So be patient! You will get the wedding content you’re looking for!
