the red and blue of me

It’s hard to plan a wedding if you are away from home – away from people who love you, away from people who know you best. A part of me wishes that I were planning my wedding in NY. ..With my family who constantly calls for updates, asks if I need help, asks for pictures of gowns that I have tried on and gives plenty of suggestions for the wedding. My stepmom -in NY- bought the wedding favors back in December, had dresses made in the Philippines in January and is going to order my jewelry for me. They already bought tickets for the wedding and know every single event that’s going on with my wedding planning. My mom, who lives here in Austin, hasn’t even seen me try on a dress and is pretty much not interested in what I do. I feel like only my family in NY (and Nick) are interested/ involved in my wedding planning.

Thank godness Nick gets himself involved with all the aspects of the wedding planning - from picking the wedding location, cake, menu, making invitations, designing centerpieces to picking the right wedding dress! I wouldn't know what I would do if Nick was like your typical guy who lets the women do all the planning...
