Recently Engaged Girl coming to you from Dreaming Life in Pink Headquarters (aka, my living room). Today I want to share with you how the wedding planning is coming along.
Future Hubby and I had been talking about wedding months before he officially pop the question (read about it here), so we already had on mind the date, and the place we wanted the wedding to be. Funny enough, the day he proposed was the day we had set to go see the venue, and I was extremely happy to do it officially engaged.
So just like that, the day we got engaged we also booked our venue. The place works perfect for us, as it is in middle for both our families, plus it is the place I had always dreamed of. I have been telling everyone for more than 10 years that I will get married there and now I will, just imagine how over the moon I am.
We will have the ceremony and reception in the same venue, but the ceremony will be outdoors, surrounded by nature. We are still not sure at what time in the evening to have the ceremony since it will be summer and we don’t want our guest to die of a heat stroke in the puerto rican summer sun. And the reception will be indoors.
We found our photographers at the Bridal Expo we went (you can read about it here). One the first day we went to their booth and so many more, and liked their work. Talking that night after the event I couldn’t remember them, I had so many business cards and brochures that I couldn’t identify them. Thanks to Maria, one of my Maids of Honor that went to the event with us, and Future Hubby, we found the booth the next day, we saw their work again and took another business card and made a note to remember them.
A month later we meet at a mall, saw their work, yet again and talk and ask all the questions we could think off. The meeting ended and as we were walking away, talking, we decided that we really wanted them, they are a couple who works together, so we get two photographers, the price was right for us, and they seem really nice. Lucky for us, they were still at the table, and we signed the contract!
Recently we also signed the contract for the band that will be playing at the reception. Them too we saw at the expo. Live music was a must for me, and Future Hubby wanted a band that will play a variety of songs in Spanish and English. We liked the way they sounded, they play all kinds of music, so weeks after the Expo we went and signed the contract.
We haven’t been doing a lot of things of the wedding as we will like to, with working 4 days, taking classes and going to my college practice center 2 days I don’t have much time. Our goal is to be on full Wedding Planning Mode on the month of June. So I hope I can come to you with another wedding planning update soon.
Never stop dreaming,
