The planning is coming along swiftly and easily. We spent the day after our engagement basking in the sun. In the days after that, we created our guest list, asked my dear friend Molly to letterpress our invitations, decided that dahlias would be our flowers. We chose the man who would bring music and dancing to our reception.
We talked for hours and hours about our future, our hopes, our fears, our partnership. We cried and celebrated with our families.
Yesterday, we traveled up to Mill Valley and decided that we would get married there.
Today, we took a walk to our local Farmer's Market, bought a handful of lillies, delphiniums, and anemones. I attempted my very first centerpiece, to gauge how crazy we are to think we'd enjoy arranging our wedding flowers ourselves.
It was a bit of a disaster, but the disaster was inspiring. I have a feeling there will be a new centerpiece every Sunday until I get to my wedding dahlias.
We're not having a long engagement. I guess we don't see any reason to hold it off. We can't wait to be married.
