Love me some Princess Bride
My beloved and I entered matrimony at the Little White Wedding Chapel at a strip mall in Northeville Michigan almost 7 years ago.I wore a dress off the sale rack from the prom season I bought literally 2 hours before the event.
No one on my side could attend because I was rather impetuous, they were all 900+ miles away, and....I'm not really a formal gal anyway.
Himself started in saying he wanted to remarry me in my home town at the place I loved best, on our 7th anniversary. The old sawtooth saying of most marriages end or get in trouble with the 7 year itch, he wanted to recommit on that date just because he is a funny guy that way.
I told my mom about it since the place I loved best was and is, the family beach house. We were already getting it repainted in thanks for the family letting us live there during the moving chaos. It's shared between her and her siblings, so we kinda need to reserve that particular weekend......and that's when it started to be real to me.
Sweet Flying Monkeys! I need to plan a party/re-commitment wedding! Eep!
I already mentioned I'm not formal, so it should shock no one that I'm talking about planning an event that is less than 2 months away.
It will be smallish, mostly family and friends that are kinda family anyway. Though I should mention I come from a flippin HUGE southern family, so we are looking at 100 people easy. And that is just the family I see regular like.
My own mother is where I get my less that formal attitude from, so she is kinda hopeless in giving advice here (though she did cringe at me saying "why not a crawfish boil?")
I need help ladies. Like, I need BIG help*.
I have a pastor lined up, a man my husband and I just love to pieces, scripture drips offa him....and that is about it. I do not even know what questions I should be asking myself here. Like I know it's at the beach, so no formal clothing, you will likely be getting wet-if not intentionally, by the kids playing in the surf. My best friend works as a professional photographer, and one of her co workers I hope to get to do the photos so she can play with us.
I need guidance...I need assistance....I don't even have a clue as to what I should be taking care of outside of food. I genuinely was fine with a crawfish boil kinda thing...but mom is right, people are coming to a wedding of sorts, so I should make more effort than a Redneck Riviera BBQ. (thats not an insult, I love being a redneck and living in the redneck riviera land).
I have no clue, PLEASE help.
*Due to circumstance, and not lack of desire, my hubbo is not available to help, so I really am flying a 'todo' solo. ;)
