Well, it is Friday. Time for my decision. I really want to make this blog and inquiry about something personal to me...not about work or school for that matter.
So, if you promise not to tell my boyfriend, I have decided to do this blog about wedding planning. It is not as if I am jumping the gun because we have talked about the fact that we are going to get married; I just don't have the ring.
We would really like an outdoor tent wedding at my parents' house. I have been thinking a lot about that lately. I worry about the logistics, cost, and extra work that will go into a wedding held somewhere other than a hall. It is easy at a hall - the linens, food, dance floor, tables, and everything else are already there for you. My boyfriend and I are just not the wedding hall type. I have always wanted to get married at my parents' house. Now my job is to see if I can make it happen!
Now I need to get started. Where to begin...
What a fun and practical topic!
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's easy to connect to K-12 students later... teens love to talk about weddings.

I love your topic and laughed out loud when you revealed it in the second paragraph. I don't know your boyfriend and promise not to tell him. I have an interest in weddings. My college roommates and I used to sit around and comment on dresses in bridal magazines. Currently, my dvr is set to record "Say Yes To the Dress" every Friday night. Annette's right, I can remember liking weddings as a teen and used to watch a show called "Wedding Story" on TLC.
ReplyDeleteDecision made, I'm going to be one of your followers (if I can figure out how to do that).
I'm curious to read some of the questions you brainstorm and plan to research. By the way, pg. 592 in the Blue Book really helped me further understand the 8Ws model and how I might follow that model via blogging. Happy blogging!

My suggestion to you is to not stress about it. My husband and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this year. Have fun with the process and always keep in mind what you and your boyfriend want. We were the first of our college friends to get married and kept it pretty simple. We then went to all kinds of weddings from the very formal country club to the backyard barbeque. I have to say, that was probably the most fun. Remember, its just the first of many days to come for the two of you together. My kids at school think it is funny that we went to Disney World for our honeymoon. We had a blast!!
