So ... When Brian & I got engaged we were 600 miles away from most family & friends.
As we took a quick vacation up here to surprise his mom & dad for a quick ceremony & tie the knot, his family suffered an unexpected death. As we were on our way we got the call(I think we were in SC already). So ... We went ahead & finished our trip, but our ceremony was cut out & we eloped at the RC court house.
With that said, we deserve a wedding ceremony of our own :)
We WANT a ceremony of our own.
So I am throwing some ideas together & starting in the "pre" planning stages of it ...
I have come up with a theme "We were Meant to Bee ..." Reasoning, Alexa is going to be a Bumble Bee this year for Halloween. We want to include her in our vows, as well as make our commitment before God, Fam{ily} & Friends. Our Song "Honey Bee" :) & because we did not postpone our marriage & faith to one another, we just felt it was "meant to be". Anyways, just seems to fit.
We're planning on next Spring, April maybe(though I have not nailed down a actual date YET .. I do have a few in mind) for this shindig to go down, inviting close family & friends.Writing our own vows, ect.
I have some very specific ideas of what I want, since I've had ample time to think about this it's pretty clear :)
Here are a few of the things I am thinking of.
Rings tide to a bible instead of a pillow ... I love this ..
Pinky promise too "bee" in our vows.
Honey Jars!
Simple, elegant, & classy center pieces -- I'm pretty set on this style.
I love this, by the time it rolls around, Alexa may be big enough to wear something similar :)
I'm doing this .. With an "L" of course!
I love this, only we do it with recent photos of us & Alexa & Jezz too :)
PERFECT -- cause we already are Mr. & Mrs.
I want it to be personal. Not commercialized. I don't need 100's of people there, nor do I want that. I want it simple. Fun. Easy. I don't see why people make these things more then they should be, more like a circus & a show then an actual heartfelt wedding ceremony.
I have my God, my husband, my daughter. My life is just the way it should "bee" :)
