Weddings and More Weddings

Steven and I attended our third wedding of the year this past weekend. Kind of amazing, seeing as how I haven't attended a single wedding in...a long time. Many years. I guess it is kind of interesting, because at every wedding we see things that we like and things we don't and get some more ideas for what we might like to do.

Interestingly, the wedding this past weekend and the wedding we went to in January had the receptions in the same location - the Rochester Golf and Country Club. The receptions were pretty much as diametrically opposite as they could be. The one in January was hors d'oeuvres and cake only, with minimal table decorations and simple tableware. The one this past weekend was very decorated with full place settings and a plated dinner. There were nearly more glasses on the table than I knew what to do with! Both weddings and receptions were very nice and enjoyable, albeit quite different.

Steven and I are pretty sure that we're going to come down somewhere in between the two, although I'm not sure quite where. We are making slow progress on the whole wedding planning thing. I have a dress, although not yet a veil and all the other accoutrements. We have colors (indigo with silver), and a photographer. Of course, we have a location. We are pokily working on caterer, cake, flowers, etc. Decorations and music...not even really on the table yet. Yeah, we should probably get going on some of that stuff. Most especially the caterer.

Another thing we are slowly working on is finding a place to live after we're married. We need a bigger place than either of us have right now, and we also have to find someplace that is a reasonable commute for both of us. Something of a challenge, since we need to be on different sides of Wichita during the day.

As you can probably tell by the somewhat lackadaisical tone of this post, we aren't exactly freaking out about getting everything done. We probably should be. But we aren't. Yet.
