My wedding Plans thus far...

I haven't gotten very far. T.J. and I were engaged in March but I was still finishing up my Bachelor's degree and we didn't want to set a date. We waited for awhile to try and see if I could get a job before we planned a date but I got too ansy and we started planning anyways! Our wedding will be in June 2012.
The details I have so far:

• We are getting married in the Catholic church that I grew up in. T.J. did not grow up Catholic and I am thankful that he is open to getting married at my church. (you'll learn how sweet he is.)
• The reception will be at a banquet-style facility not far from the wedding venue. Here is a picture:

        I have to admit, I never exactly pictured my wedding being at a place like this. However, I will say they  do so much work for you that it makes your life a little easier and less stressful! I also started to feel overwhelmed with how many places were out there. All I really cared about what getting married, crazy I know!

•  I want my colors to be grey, accented by bright oranges, yellows, and pinks! 
• I want my wedding to be most of all-FUN! I literally said that when we meant with the lady. The most important part of the day is that all of my guests have fun. I don't have a stuffy, proper personality and I don't want my wedding to reflect that. T.J. and I just like to laugh, A LOT!

In order to try and keep up with this posting thing, I figured I'd write down some of what you will see in the next posts (and also as a post-it to myself, SHHHH!)
