Planning Our Wedding

Dan and I recently got engaged and have started to plan our romantic nuptials.

The one thing we have agreed on thus far is a beach location. We finally picked one and now I'm stressed thinking I need a wedding planner. But, wait those impressive girls are way to much money. Now, I'm up to my ears in wedding magazines and loving every second of it. A little tooo much. At this point our wedding will be equipped with every DIY imaginable, string lights, detailed dessert table, 16 bridesmaids, photo booth OH and an ice cream bar. What the whaaaat?! I am guessing this is why love birds get eloped.

I better get organized and start saving my pennies...
