lovelyamore's Blue wedding

Wow, has it been forever! Mainly because between college and work, I have had virtually NO free time. It's either working working working or homework homework homework!!!

Thank goodness for the slight break I have right now... =P

Well, a lot has happened recently. I've had to do some seriouse re-hashing on my BM situation, and I've been doing a lot of thinking about the actual wedding/colors/BM dresses, etc.


Also, after a talk with my fiance, we decided to ask one of my best friends, who is actually a guy, to be a BM. We discussed this a lot, because, obviously, this is NOT traditional, and both of our families will definitely throw some serious drama around on it. But, he has been a better friend to not only me, but both of us, than most of my other attendants. So we asked him. He agreed. That's the final lay-down.

I'm really thinking about skimping on naming an MOH. It's too much drama, really. And because of some huge simplifications on the wedding, it will not be necessary. My BMs will be more than enough help. =D

Now to the wedding. June 14, 2009 is still the date, of course. Still on the beach. Still a ridiculously small ceremony. Still casual.

The colors, however, I'm beginning to re-think a little. Especially the black, since it will be a nighttime affair.

What I've considered is changing the black to silver. I found amazingly cute cocktail dresses in silver, which I think will look fabulous on all my attendants. (Excluding Blake, of course, who will be wearing whatever Randy's GMs are wearing.) Also, I'm loving the thought of a little metallic flair against the beach water and the sand.
But, because of this, I'm also re-thinking the pink, orange, and yellow. I'm not quite sure what it's going to look like. I cannot find pics on the internet, so I'm not certain... What would be some bright colors to compliment the silver?

Next, we have been thinking about guests, and downsizing again. Mainly to attendants and parents. Truthfully, both of us felt terrible about asking our guests, especially our elderly g-parents to travel that far. So, instead, we are considering having the ceremony at the beach, like we wanted. Then, to travel back home for a couple days before the honeymoon and have a party, to which we will invite the guests. Kind of like a late reception, minus the garter throwing, bouquet toss, ect. Who knows? We may cave in and get a cake for the guests, since we don't exactly like sweets.

Ah, feedback appreciated! I need ideas and advice! Hehe!

I just get more and more excited about this every day. It's really unbelievable just how much I adore him... <3
