wedding class 101

i think it should be required that husbands to be should have to take a 'wedding 101' class or something of the likes... kelly has been wonderful. he really has. however.....(wait for it)....there are just some things he doesnt get. like party favors. or how costly flowers are. or that NO, we cant make our own wedding cake. (serioulsy he said this) or needing to buy your attendants gifts, etc., etc....please understand- i am NOT complaining-i am venting. (is there a difference?)

i have to say though, he has been very involved, which is quite surprising. he came with me and picked out our invitations. and helped pick out the cake. he has learned A LOT so far-and cannot believe how expensive weddings are. (i warned him....)

today we go look at our potential church. oh-i didnt mention that i found a church!!! woot-woot! after contacting over 60 (NO JOKE) churches between appleton and oshkosh (a 30mile radius)-only ONE came back and said they would let us rent it using my pastor. such craziness. hogwosh. its actually an old renovated barn that they turned into a church. it may be interesting. but the pictures looked quite beautiful. at this point-any CHURCH will do. so long as its a church. i just really dont want to have to have it at the reception site. :/ i will let you know how it goes.

i have some exciting news to post in the next month or so-but i will keep you in suspense until then. :)
