20 Questions

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but, I really don't have everything figured out for the wedding just yet. I know! Shocker! Oh, who am I kidding? I'm going little by little and I don't really know what I'm going. BUT! I have great friends who have gone through this before and they will help me along the way. However, there is one thing I have noticed. People love to ask you questions about your wedding. And hey! That's totally normal. Though there is one question that boggles my mind. Not because of what the question actually is, but of the timing people choose to ask it. I got engaged May 6th, and on May 7th, just as I went back to school, the first question from everyone was "DO YOU HAVE A DATE???!!!" Now let's think about this. On May 7th I had been engaged for less than 24 hours. Yes, super exciting! No, I don't have a date. In the 24 hours I have not called the Parish, checked venues, checked with possible wedding party for availability, or anything else. I have no idea when my wedding is at this point. How am I supposed to know that in 24 hours?! I understand that people are just happy! That's the normal thing to ask I'm sure. But with each time the question was asked, my nervousness increased. It occurred to me, "Oh crap!" maybe I should have a date already! But how?? It JUST happened. So with this I tell you all, a date is coming. I will let you know as soon as I have it. I will shout it from the rooftops! I will hire a plane to sky-write it! (No, that's ridiculously expensive) For right now, I will tell you: we are shooting for Spring 2014. Any other questions?
