Planning for the Big Day

So the date has been set and in less than a year, me and Nikki will tie the knot. It's a lot of stuff to plan out and to think about. When we started planning, Nikki asked me what I wanted for the color palette. I gave her a blank stare and ignored it for the most part. For weeks she asked me about the color palette and really I didn't matter to me what the color palette was and how important it would be.

Weeks passed and we finally sat down to choose a color palette which I still didn't get. Guys don't think about color palette when choosing what they'll wear to a wedding. I also don't remember seeing any color palette when I attend a wedding. However, supplier after supplier will ALWAYS ask for the color palette.

Truth be told, I don't know what I'll be actually doing on the day. All I know is I need to show up in a nice looking suit. That's pretty much all that's on my to-do list for that day. It is quite overwhelming everything that has to be done before the date though. Caterer, venue, flowers, church documents, host, dress, ninongs and ninangs, choir, band, invitations, and I'm pretty sure I've only scratched the surface what needs to be prepared.

One thing is for certain though. I'm enjoying the ride so far. It's one thing to plan for the big day and you're dreading the days that follow. I, however, am very excited for spending the rest of my life with Nikki. It makes all the strange things I'll have to do like learn how to dance all the more bearable. I don't mind having to go with Nikki to see a bunch of designers or having to look for that perfect material for a thing that you put on the tables in the reception (I know it's called a centerpiece but that's how I describe it my head).

We've gone window shopping as well for furniture. I've been buying things which I would use for cleaning the house. These are things I would normally not look forward to buying but things are different now. I'm excited for this next major event in my life. I find myself excited to baby proof our new home. This is all very new things to me but I'm ready to dive in with my chosen partner in crime.

Planning for a wedding can be stressful and tiresome. I'm just glad I get to do it with the best possible person I can. It makes the entire process more excited and that much less stressful.
