planning

heh, not quite. we are less than a year out though, which brings all sorts of fun excitement. I'm actually just relieved that I no longer have to say May of Next Year. Now it's just May. May 20th! Eeeeeee!

Thank you for all the responses to the poll below. It's a close call right now. But we have lots of time. We're closing in on the 3 month mark. Eep! It's hard to figure out what to do next, what to hold off on...but I'm sure it'll all start coming together soon enough. We have our first appointment for a reception site this Saturday at The Beach Club Estate, which is conveniently located right in the middle of the island. They offer both outdoor and indoor capabilities, which is high on our list. I still have to come up with a list of questions to ask. I'll be perusing my bridal planners this week for all the appropriate things to do and say. Wish us luck!

One month later. I can't believe we've been engaged for one month already. The time has just flown by. And before you know it, the planning will be in full swing. Right now though, we've only just started to get the basics.

1. When: April/May 2005
2. Where: NY somewhere (we have some ideas around the island and we'll have to start looking soon)
3. Colors: Sage and either Champagne or that sweet Desert Clay. The Sage is definite!
4. Who: Well obviously Sean and I, however, we've also made some bridal party decisions (more to follow, I'm sure)
   • Best Man: Marc (Sean's brother)
   • Matron's of Honor: MaryJane & Melanie (my sisters)
   • Junior Bridesmaid: Shayna (neice)
   And I believe our guest list will be pretty manageable. Small, intimate and classy. I can't wait!!
5. Walking me down the aisle: My mom, of course!
6. Mini-Engagement Party 'indefinitely' set for April/May 2004.

I think that about sums it all up. Nothing too much and nothing very exciting, but we'll get there. I've put up a new poll. And just to let everyone know, the answer the to previous poll: When did Sean and Melissa meet? 1997 2000 (2) 1999 (0) 1998 (4) 1997 (13) 1996 (3) Thirteen of you got it correct!! Congratulations. You now have a little piece of knowledge, that you probably didn't really need to begin with.
