so I said I would write about weddings and here it goes...
I have a few weddings coming up of friends that I will be attending and that I am looking forward to. Kim Berlin and Colin are getting married February 24th near Chicago. Christina and I are planning on going together and staying the night in a hotel nearby the wedding location and such. I am pretty much expecting this to be Kim's dream wedding since she is the sort of gal that has been planning her wedding since she was prob 10 or 12 (or younger). This will be the third Starbucks related wedding that I will have been to, also.
The next weddings are the same day and in completely different locations and I am still unsure of which I will be attending...oy. My cousin is getting married May 5th on the beach in Ft. Myers. I know it's going to be a great wedding and I bet the reception will be a blast...dancing all night! However, it will also be really expensive...plane ticket there for the weekend (around $225-240ish), lots of dining out and other expenses. The other wedding will be here in town for a friend I work with, Heather. I am so excited for her wedding also. It's going to be such a rock star wedding (due to the fact she is marrying a musician and that she has a funky/fun style and the ideas she has mentioned for the wedding are way cool and unique to her and Jared). Kim at work said today (jokingly of course), "geez Alexa, it's friends before family." So I gotta make up my mind first. I just know that I am going to feel badly either way for the wedding I can't attend...bummer situation. So far it has been leaning toward the family wedding. I can't imagine not going to Kevin & Robyn's wedding.
The other wedding I am blogging about is my own. I know, you are probably like, what?!?! Back in the day when James and I were first dating and I was in the phase of, "I am in love with you and we are so going to get married!", I made a page on theknot.com. Ya, you prob think I am krazy, but we had actually discussed it, so I didn't just blindly make a page because I was a krazy pyscho girlfriend. Anywho, I was curious a few weeks ago with all these weddings and such and I found the page I had started for us. I remember when I planned the date of our wedding, I was trying to look ahead and find a year/time when we would prob be out of school for a year or so and then get married...the date of the wedding was set for what day???? May 4th, 2007! It doesn't mean a ton, but it is weird to think that we could have possibly been getting married this year, ya know? And that I also planned a Friday wedding (which is apparently gaining popularity). The other funny thing is the budget that I put for the wedding, I must have been planning on making a lot of money because I put the budget as $25,000. oh dear!
anywho, that is all for weddings now.
much love!
oh! and one of my bestest friends, Jenny is getting married next summer, June 8th!

i feel so intimidated by the amount of weddings and babies that are coming up. i feel you on that. i don't think that i will ever be married in the traditional sense. it just doesn't suit me. thanks again for the meditation times. i hope we can really keep this up once a week.
