Things are coming along...

Stuff I Suck At

So, here's a list of things I haven't done yet. Most are things I've at least started. Please shame me into getting these things done.


1. Catering
2. Photographer
3. Map for invitations (my fabulous niece is being held up by my procrastination)
4. Finding a rain location
5. Ordering tables, chairs, etc.
6. Flowers
7. Favors and gifts
8. Decorations
9. Wedding rings
And much, much more!

I'm considering using a caterer I use for work all the time for my wedding. He has the best cookies, and I asked him to throw in a few extra for "tasting" with my last order from him for a recent work event. A delivery guy brought in the food for my event. He handed me the extra cookies I'd asked for and asked why I'd gotten the extra cookies. I explained that I was considering his company for my wedding. He said, "Oh! You're getting married? When's the wedding?" I replied, "June." He got this wide-eyed look and said, "Wow. Your wedding's in June and you don't have a caterer yet?!"

"Yeah, I know. I suck."

Um, this bride is unavailable... as are most.

Apparently, Mallikarjuna is from India and "looking for a bride for marriage." If anyone can help him out, please do. He seems to be confused and is definitely looking for love in all the wrong places. Tip: If a girl is blogging about planning her wedding, she's likely not interested in marrying some dude in India just because he posted a comment on said blog.

From now on, comments will be monitored and are subject to approval before posting to the blog. Sorry, Mallikarjuna. Better luck next time.

Hello!!

Hello, everyone! Because there are so many people with whom to share so many photos, ideas, stories, etc., I've decided to start a blog for the Squidley-Sco wedding. This will likely evolve into a blog about babies, houses, etc. when we get to those things. I'll be chronicling our wedding planning and asking you all to participate in the process along the way. It will probably be largely about dresses and venues initially, because those are the most fun. I don't like to start with the hard stuff or the important stuff. I start with the fun stuff. I'll put off the hard stuff as long as I can.

I'll post our engagement story soon. It's pretty awesome, and I don't want to get tired of telling it, so I might just point people to the blog once it's up. For now, know that we are engaged and happy!
