For those of you who don't know... Asa and I got engaged!!!
That was the easy part, haha. Planning the wedding, not so much. Although I already knew some things about wedding planning, I have learned a lot because I have been rather involved with the planning process. It has been a great journey so far, and God has really helped us make some major decisions about the wedding so far.
Things are starting to come together now, and we are all so excited as we await the wedding! It's been a lot of fun picking the theme and barn venue to get married at. Weddings have so much detail that a lot of people don't realize. There's a lot to think about, from guest lists to location, from favors to food, from decorations to entertainment, wedding bands to wedding party dress, and SO much more! It definitely can be stressful, and I will admit there are times when I was in tears over small stuff lol. As things are beginning to align, I will continue to trust God to help us figure out the rest and will commit to pray. If you're a Christian and you're reading this, would you pray for us as well?
In September, we toured our barn venue and booked it the same day! It is so beautiful and the time of year we will be married is perfect fall weather. My family also hosted an engagement party for Asa and I, and it was such a sweet time with our friends and family ♡. A little later in September, my mom and I picked a photographer we previously knew and booked her for the wedding!
This past weekend we met our caterer and DJ, and booked with him for next year. Our caterer came recommended by several people that we know, and it's super covenient that he is a DJ also!
We've already gotten most of the flowers we are going to use too and they are absolutley beautiful!
Thankfully, in all of this, my parents have been very supportive and helpful in getting everything together. I would've never been able to do this on my own, and it is such a blessing being able to work beside my mom in planning this wedding! A family friend has also been very involved with helping us plan and it's been a lot of fun looking at ideas with her! I will forever be grateful for all of the help I am receiving and will do whatever I can to repay all of the people invovled.
