All of which got me thinking about what I really want and what I really do not want for my own wedding. I've been having lots of fun pre-planning, but I have a feeling that the time for fun and games is nearly over. In a very good way. So what have I learned?
What I absolutely must have:
Boy
Active, happy bridesmaids- think lunches, shopping trips
flowers done by family- bouquet party :)
formal attire... not sure about the black tie yet
unique, lengthy ceremony
our song, as arranged by me
dancing- lots and lots of dancing
excellent photography
What must be kept far away from my wedding:
faux flowers of any sort
drop ceilings
unnecessary bling, gloss, and "wedding necessities"
I solemnly swear:
Not to over-knot
not to make online purchases without first consulting Boy and/or 2 bridesmaids
to shut up when asked to stop talking about wedding stuff
and finally, not to snoop and spoil Boy's surprise.
That last one is a toughie...

I think your must have list is very practical. I love the idea of the bouquet party, and I wish I had done it myself, except that I'm not actually that pro-active. The flowers at my wedding could have totally been done myself.. Oh well. Please make sure you order your own bridal bouquet from a florist, though. You don't need to worry about that looking wonky and homemade. Anyways, yes. :) Just yes.
