Hi all!
My name is Jocelyn and guess what?!? I am getting married! So I am very excited. I am just getting started with planning and I am bringing everyone along with me.
So first of all I want to explain my angle on this whole wedding. My fiancé and I are both having our second wedding. We both had the "big" wedding the first time. Therefore we have both learned our lesson. If I were to change the name of my blog I would change it to "The second time I get married I am not going to have a big wedding because that was a big crazy mess." So with that in mind I am breaking all traditions I possibly can, I am doing everything myself as much as I can and I am making the wedding as far away from cookie cutter as possible.
I am going to aim to answer the who, what, when, where and why of our big day. I think that is a good place to start. In fact, that is where I started.
The first question is who. Well of course myself. I am a thirty year old divorsee with a six year old son. I am marrying Rodney and his two children who are six and seven years old. We met on match.com. The first week we both joined we started talking to each other. We had our first date in a town between our towns (we live an hour apart). We had dinner and wine. We walked around the beautiful town for a few hours. We soon fell in love. That was a year and a half ago. We recently went on a vacation to Daytona Beach Florida where he asked me to be his wife. I am so happy. We have a lot to do!
Next is the what. Of course it is a wedding. However it is not going to be a run of the mill, traditional wedding. We are going to get married outside. As I said it will be nontraditional. Outside, later evening, small and no wedding dance. But before anyone thinks I am crazy for cutting out a dance we will still have the first dance to some soft jazz music.
Onto the where. Well I am not exactly sure where at this point. But I do know this: we are going to rent a cabin on a lake for a few days. The wedding party is going to stay there. We plan to get married out by the lake. We have looked into a few places but so far nothing has worked out.
And when? Well next year. Originally we were planning on June of next year BUT we will be selling houses in June so we are shooting for September 2016.
Lastly the question of why: one word: LOVE. That might seem cheesy but it is true. For some people it is OK to date forever. We love each other and we are going to make that statement.
I guess for now that is it. I do not know exactly where this road is going to go. I am sure there will be a lot of happy moments and knowing me some tears too but it will be great.
Cheers!
