I am nine months away from marriage.

Ian made a joke the other day about how for the next month we can make pregnancy jokes about our wedding, like it’s a child we’re expecting. And honestly, right now the wedding does seem like a child. We’ve made a lot of decisions, but there are still more to make. When we find a vendor that we click with it is such a relief– this person doesn’t think we’re insane. This person can share our vision.

Some days, I just want to elope. We’d take a photographer, our parents, and our closest friends and just go away for a few days. I am ready to be married now. I want to be a wife, to learn and grow with Ian.

But I’m sure we’d have our “what-ifs” and I know that Ian’s been planning his dream wedding for at least as long as I have (hopeless romantic, that one).

The newest explosion of craziness is wedding music. We want an eclectic blend of music that is meaningful for us that has been arranged for the cello and piano. You’d be surprised how few songs have this done for us (lol– but really, if you arrange music, contact me).

What music did you play at your wedding? Did you get a DJ or splurge for a live band? I would love to hear your experiences.
