Although many couples have(and will) plan weddings within a year, I wanted to take it slow, enjoy it, and do one thing at a time. Welp, it certainly doesn't feel that way anymore.

I woke up recently in a frantic sweat. I had a dream that my wedding was a week away and I have nothing picked out. No dress, no flowers, didn't know what matt was going to wear, nor did I have my hair done(yeah dreamt that). This is obviously not reality but it scared me half to death. Thankfully, my bridesmaids reassured me that I was in a good place and that I had more done than the norm (or so they made me believe).
I wanted to take time to plan the weekend of events. My family and I wanted to show all of our guests the amazing area we grew up in, the water, and of course historic Salem! I may seem superficial, and materialistic, but when it comes down to my friends, family and entertaining, I would give the shirt off my back to make them happy. Just like our "engagement" party, it's not just about us. Its about our support system. I want our guests to feel like we made them apart go this wedding and that they know how much we appreciate them. Part of that will be pouring booze down their throats and making them eat massive amounts of food. But hey, we show our love in the kitchen.
But REALLY, what now? What do i do next? What was the hardest part of planning your wedding and what would you have done differently?
