On February 14, 2008 Ken proposed to me and I said, "Yes!" So now what?
Hmmm ... Am I up for planning a wedding? I should feel totally excited but for some reason it's a bit overwhelming. Why? I think it's because due to geography we know we will not be able to please everyone on our guest list ... and I'm a total "pleaser" so that's very stressful to me.
We don't have any immediate family here in Texas. Ken's grandparents and two of his uncles are about 3 hours away and his sister's in Louisiana about 7 hours from here. Other than that pretty much everyone (in both our families) is in California - mine Southern and his Central.
We both have children from our previous marriages (5 total - my 3 and his 2) ranging in age from 6-13 and we know we want them to not only attend but to be involved in our ceremony.
Eloping to someplace fabulous seems like a good option! LOL ... We'd have to take all 5 kids - and then we'd have to take someone with us to watch them so we could have some alone time. Not a bad option at all - I'll give it some thought. *SmiLes* Suzanne
