Well, here goes nothing!

I feel like, right now, the only journey I'm on is one that leads to bankruptcy. Or insanity. 
I'm planning my wedding.
When, decades from now, I look back on this time in my life I'm sure it will be with a smile and a sparkle in my eye.  At the moment there is no sparkle. The part that I'll look back on as my future self will start after I have found my place and I'm doing all the fun things.
Designing invitations and 'save the dates', figuring out the "look and feel" of the evening, deciding what kind of food and drink we are going to have. These things are fun.
None of that can actually start happening until that one little detail is figured out...where we will host our event.


My feelings on The Big Day are this:
You should have fun, celebrate with all of your close friends and family. Eat, drink, be merry.  Have a party where you can show off the person that you care so much about to all the other people in your life that you care about.
BUT...after the party, still have enough money to start that life you just celebrated the beginning of.


Ultimately I just don't think that people need to go to such elaborate measures in order to have a good time and celebrate.


Is that just me?


So, this journey will continue. I will search for lofts, and galleries.  I will yelp and google. I will not stop brainstorming.  Then, one day, hopefully soon, I will write a check for a deposit and it will feel SO good.


Then the fun will begin...
