Way back when I got married, some 10 years ago now, we discussed the fact that we were taking a pretty simplified and organized approach to our planning, somewhat different from what we found online, and perhaps when we were done, we’d write it up and post it too. Well, fast-forward ten years and I’ve never made the time to do it. Lots of other topics intervened, and yet I had it on my list. Partly even just to be able to share some of the photos as examples.

A little over a month ago, I saw a guide online and thought, “Okay, we’re out of date, but maybe somebody out there will find it interesting at least.” And so I added it as a 50by50 item. Sixteen topics broken down into 9 posts:

1. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 1 – Early planning
2. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 2 – Engagement
3. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 3 – The Ceremony
4. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 4 – The Reception
5. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 5 – Accommodations, Flowers, and Transportation
6. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 6 – Website, Gifts, and Invitations
7. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 7 – Parties, parties, and more parties
8. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 8 – After the wedding
9. Planning a wedding in six months – Part 9 – Photography

I feel like I want to go back and edit it down to a one-page “do this” type list, but for now, I’m ticking the box that I told our story. Just in time for our anniversary.
