First stop, the bank! Michael and I set up a joint bank account. I know there are still seven months until the wedding, but we're pretty sure we will go through with it. This will also help us start saving money because we agreed that my entire paycheck is going into savings and we will just live off of his paycheck from now on. I haven't gotten my debit card in the mail yet though and so I have been without access to any money for a few days. If I'm desperate though I can just go borrow his card. It will be interesting setting up a budget and seeing what expenses need to be cut out and where we can pinch pennies. I'm sure we will be having a lot of conversations with my dad in the future about budgeting.
Second stop, the florist! This was just a preliminary consult and it is a client of Michaels so hopefully he will cut us a deal. He gave me some really good ideas for bouquets and even had some ideas about how to keep cost down. We are going back sometime in the next month or so to lay out some more specific plans for the wedding and reception. i had no idea that it was a common practice to get a corsage for the bride and groom's aunts. That's crazy. Sorry aunts, I don't think you're getting a corsage from us. lol
Third stop, the church! We stopped by my parents' church because this is where we decided on having the ceremony. Unfortunately they were closed when we got there. We were standing outside talking about what to do next when the office lady poked her head out the door and asked if we needed help. I mentioned that we were interested in getting married on August 15th and she said "oh ya, your dad called earlier, we gave him all the info you need." This was hilarious to me because Michael and I had not even decided about the church until earlier that day and we hadn't told anyone yet. Just another example of how my dad always knows what I need and what I want and takes care of me so well. Thanks Dad!
That was a very eventful day.
Now, between working forty hours a week and taking an interterm class, I have had practically no time for wedding planning lately. Luckily my class ends next week and I only have two more weeks of working full time. I know it's weird to say, but I'm looking forward to starting school because I will actually have more time to wedding plan than I do now. I've worked harder during my break than I ever have during a college semester. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and am counting down the days until I am Mrs. Cameron! 213 days left
