Intro

Hi. I'm Megan. This journal might be a silly idea, but its at least a way for me to have my ideas down somewhere so I don't have a bunch of ideas floating around in my head and my browsers bookmarks section. It is all right here. I can also get feedback, positive or negative.

DATE: Well, first things first. My fiance', Mathew (25), and I have finally set our date, and it's in stone this time. I can't emphasis how long that took. If we would have kept our previous dates we would have been married at least 4 times already. We are getting married on Friday, November 02, 2007. We have decided to be wed around 6:00 P.M. with the reception following at 7:00 P.M.

LOCATION: Both of us were born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Florida, so a beach wedding sounded perfect. Unfortunately the budget didn't permit such a thing. We knew we wanted something outdoors, however, the beach seemed like the only thing. After I spent what seemed like countless hours trying to find the perfect spot just this week narrowed it down to 3 potential spots, North Straub Park (this is a picture of the view from under the trellis where the end of the isle would be), South Straub park, and the Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum. All 3 are close to our reception location, The Bayfront Towers. Its a private condominium complex that a friend has agreed to sponsor for us. Here is an actual inside picture of the facility. The best part about using this facility is that its FREE!

THEME/DRESS TYPE: We have both agreed on your typical wedding reception dress code. Formal yet not black tie. Our primary colors are black and white with pink and silver being used for accents.

I will make a new post shortly with pictures of my dress ideas, pictures of the maid of honor and bridesmaids dresses, the cake, and my unique bouquet!
