Hello friends, family, and people who accidentally stumble upon my blog!
I created this blog to keep people up-to-date on my wedding planning. I do write another blog, and I will link this to the other, and the other to this, if people are interested in my life and musings apart from the wedding planning process.
As many of you may already know, I'm a pretty laid-back person. Through planning my wedding, I'm going to do my darndest to not turn into a 'bride-zilla'. Nor do I want to bore people with wedding planning details if they don't want to hear them. Another reason to have a blog. If I finally decide on flowers or the design of a crudites platter, I can go to the blog and tell the interwebs about my new wedding-related enlightenment, rather than my co-workers or the random person at Starbucks who happens to be wearing the exact shade of blue as my hydrangeas.
This is what we have set so far:
1. The Groom. I will call him B, in case he doesn't want his full name blasted off the rooftops. I like to tell people we met the "old-fashioned way", at a bar. I think he is the most handsome person on the planet (no, really, I do) and he makes me belly laugh more than once a day. He is as laid-back as I am, if not more. Pretty much the best groom ever.
2. The officiant: My Dad, the Rev. You were wondering why this blog was called "PK Ties the Knot". PK = Preacher's Kid. That's me.
That can also explain why I've been thinking about my wedding since the ripe old age of three. I've just been to SO many, its impossible to not start thinking about one's own wedding. My mother, sister and I used to sit in the church balcony during weddings and look at the dresses. If you were married in my father's church between 1985 and 2000, I probably secretly crashed your wedding ceremony.
But PK, you ask, is your Dad also going to walk down the aisle? How will he give you away?
He has it all figured out, I have no worries that he will do an amazing job.
3. The church: Second Congregational Church
4. The reception: Topsfield Common. Ob-sessed. Charmed. Determined to live up to everyone's expectations of beauty, which is totes easy in this place. The room where dinner and dancing take place is so gorgeous it only needs minimal decoration (bonus!) Also, we have a whole lot of freedom with the menu. We're probably going for a heavy hors d'oeuvres reception with interesting presentation, and this place has their own professional catering team that can help you dream up every foodie creation known to humankind. I can't wait to start planning the menu and doing the tasting!
5. Bridal Party: And they're all fantastic. All the girls are wearing little black dresses of their choice. Saves SO much time trying to figure out a style, color, and budget for 6 different people in 6 different life stages. They will all look and feel fabulous because a) they ARE! and b) they are in something they chose that compliments their body type and budget.
That's pretty much it for now. I have more things and ideas in my brain, but will save them for future blog posts. The wedding isn't until Sept. 2012, so I have some time to bore you all with the rest of the details!
Stay cool!
