Weddings

I have weddings on my mind again. Specifically my wedding.

Maybe that's not entirely accurate.

My wedding was cute, small, in our living room with a few family members and pizza and an ice cream cake. It was beautiful, because it was very much us and it was low-stress.

But every girl dreams of the white dress, the church, the reception. From somewhere around as soon as they can talk little girls tend to start dreaming of the whole wedding thing. It takes a bit to satisfy that - and even afterward they tend to still be wedding-obsessed. I am no exception. So Dearest and I determined that for our fifth anniversary - provided we reach some financial goals in that time frame - we're going to renew our vows and I get to plan it just how I want it.

So I've been thinking about it. I know that I want to do a family-oriented barbeque-type thing and a more elegant, adult-only thing. But what I don't know is if I want to do them in the same day or not. I also don't know if I want to do a wedding ceremony for our vow renewal (partially so that my mom can see a real ceremony for my wedding and partially so I have the pictures from it) or not.

SO....that's on my mind. And I'm googling wedding dresses again.
