I’m not sure my wedding planning will be interesting enough for a weekly post. Truthfully, I haven’t been focusing on it that much. My Pinterest gazing has slowed a bit and I’m still visiting some wedding blogs to glean inspiration, but that’s pretty much as far as it has gone.
I have, however, been scouring flea markets, thrift shops, and antiques places for those vintage dishes I had my heart set on. And, in finding none that I liked, even that decision is wavering. I’m thinking I’m going to be terrible at getting anything accomplished.
Also, I’m still trying to work out the technical details:
-Religious education classes. Thom is Catholic. I am not. In fact, I’ve written before about my feelings about organized religion. It’s important to him that I consider becoming Catholic and so I’ve agreed to take the classes. I’m not promising anything and I’m one hundred and fifty percent sure that I will not become Catholic but I think compromise in a marriage is an absolute must so I will go into class with an open mind and an open heart.
-My brother is getting married in July of next year {three months before me}. Apparently, he’s having a huge wedding and inviting everyone. I’m planning on a small wedding-75 to 100 people at the most and even smaller if I can manage. My question is: would it be wrong or hurtful for me to not invite everyone that he invited to his? I’m talking about second cousins I’ve never really known, family members I only have seen a few times in the past, and coworkers {past & present}.
Thoughts?
I think you should invite who you want. Just because your brother invites everyone doesn't mean you have to. Its your day and if you want to only invite so and so then you should only do that.
It's your day! My hubby is Catholic and I'm not so I did the pre-Cana classes too. They aren't bad.
Thanks, Shell! We had our first meeting tonight. It was…interesting.
