Mark and Katie's Stupendous Wedding Blog

“How is the wedding planning going?” I’ve heard this question so many times over the past months. While I am always happy to talk about wedding plans, here lately, the planning hasn’t been going full force due to the ever-present pressure of school. Wedding planning takes a back seat to the many hours of classes and work and homework that Mark and I are both dealing with. However, I am happy to say that progress is being made slowly but surely!

This weekend, I’ll be heading to Illinois with Mark in order to see his family, and also to take his sister Kiley and my friend Beth to get their bridesmaid’s dresses! I’m pretty excited about this little endeavor, but I must say that I’m kind of bummed about the fact that I won’t be able to buy a dress. That’s okay, though, I’ve got mine.

In other planning news, our original idea for a photographer didn’t work out due to a scheduling conflict, but we found someone else for a price that is still in our budget! We’re really excited about this, because booking the photographer is a major step! Yay for progress! The next thing on my agenda is flowers. I love flowers, so I want a florist who will do a great job working with me to create some amazing pieces. I’m hoping to find someone soon, but the semester is really starting to get busy, so I have to put it off for a little while. Okay, as I was typing that sentence, I realized that with exactly 220 days to go, I don’t have time to put it off. I guess I’ll have to take care of that by next week.

After flowers, I think the next thing I tackle will be…well, I’m not sure. There is still a ton of stuff I need to think about. I guess I’ll just have to take it one step at a time.
