Getting married

On October 17th, 2010, my wonderful boyfriend David finally proposed.  He sent me on a scavenger hunt to different parks and pretty places.  We went on a picnic, and he proposed by a lake.  It was absolutely perfect.  But this in't about the proposal (as magical as it was).  This is about my wedding plans.
I have been planning my wedding since i was 2...probably.  I used to want a yellow and green wedding with daisies and yellow roses.  Then, about two years ago, I changed it to green, brown and white with calla lilies.  Here's the problem: The only flowers I like are daisies.  Why would I have roses or calla lilies?  I'm incredibly girly, despite my dislike for most flowers.  So why green, brown and white?  I wanted something simple, outside by a lake, in the early fall.  I don't want a big princess dress because that would be extremely inconvenient for dancing and for an outside wedding.  I looove Essence of Australia and I really want a dress from this designer.

We're currently considering  a small wedding in the Bahamas.  Just family and close friends- 50 guests.  If we do it there, I want a vintage beach theme.  Otherwise, it will be in Pennsylvania, hopefully on a farm or something of the sort.  Now, who wants green and brown when you can have Cherry Red, Salmon Pink, Sky Blue and Medium Gray?  Exactly.  No one.

Remember my hatred for flowers (except daisies, of course)?  I'm thinking pinwheels instead of bouquets for me and my girls.  Yes, pinwheels.  And maybe candy centerpieces?  I'm not talking Jordan Almonds and After Dinner Mints.  Think Giant Swirly Lollipops and Candy Sticks.  Sounds fabulous to me.

But I still want simple.  Can I have simple and fun?  Lets see if I can pull this off...

Tentative wedding date: September 15, 2012
