Another note about an insider peek

I am engaged!!!! Yeah me!!

Roger is a fantastic man and I think we are very lucky to have found one another. We are planning our wedding for September 2011 (9/10/11). We are waiting for so long for a couple of reasons.

1. We need to save up the cash to cover the shindig

2. Roger is in school and will graduate (go baby) in 2011 and it will be nice to not have to worry about class schedules when we take our honeymoon.

3. We are both a little older (not too old!!) and can handle the wait – good things come to those that wait.

SOOOO…..besides my experience as a wedding officiant I will be able to share my first hand experience as I ALSO plan my wedding.
We brides have to stick together and help each other find the best vendors and deals for our budgets…right???

This is my beginning

I became a wedding officiant in the spring of this year (2009). I have been fortunate enough to participate in several lovely ceremonies since I received my Ohio license. I love doing weddings. The couples are so excited and nervous….and HAPPY.
Happy is the part I like the most.
One thing I have noticed as I have met with more and more couples is that Licking County is not organized in any manner that is user friendly when it comes to planning a wedding. Now, if you live in our beautiful county I am sure you have hear of someone…or been to a few weddings BUT planning that event is a little different. I find that couples are lost for ideas since we don’t really have a central location for this information.
If you are a Columbus engaged couple, your resources are endless. There are several published booklets available to you to help you find vendors. But here in our little corner of paradise we are lacking that luxury.
Now, in my opinion the best resource a couple can have is a referral from a friend they trust. However, if none of your friends have been recently married you are again at a loss.
As a wedding officiant I have an opportunity to view multiple weddings a bit more closely and I am beginning to formulate my own opinions on a few things. SOOOO – this blog will be my forum where I share my opinion.
If it helps a couple in any stage of their planning then – yeah – I achieved what I set out to do. If not, at least I have a place to record my thoughts on things….which is nice too.
I hope you end up enjoying my blog….and thanks for looking!!
