Pinning and Planning

Since I've worked in and around the wedding industry for the past several years, and spent most of my weekends working weddings, it was pretty much impossible to not plan in detail my own.

I had envisioned how I would feel when the day actually arrived when I could pin a wedding pin on Pinterest and not have my cats silently judging me.

And now the day has come! I'm pinning away with no guilt!

But man, does this feel different than I expected! It is way more fun than I imagined I could have, considering I had most of the big things already planned...but it's also more overwhelming.

In fact, I can't even really bring myself to look through my super-secret-planning board because those 223 secretly pinned pins seem to be a lot more than I thought I had...

Now that he put a ring on it, I'm excited to share our theme...travel!

Eric and I have both moved around dozens of times, and it's remarkable that our lives lead us around the world on wild paths to land us both in the same state, in the same city, at the same silly bar, at the exact same moment.

We both believe that marriage is not the end of anything, but the beginning of a grand adventure together, and we have big plans for all the fun we're going to share!

Each of our tables will be themed to a different place we would like to travel in the future.

We'll be decorating with antiques to theme the decor around travel, including lots of post cards, globes, and suitcases!

Pinterest, the black hole of ideas, has given me TONS of ideas for the theme and I'm so excited to start putting them all together!

You can follow some of the ideas I've gathered on my Pinterest board: To Be Triscritti

Although all this pinning has been a blast, the best part so far has been the unexpected support we've gotten from all of our friends and family.

Mostly because I've been one of those people who have had to suffer through endless engagement, wedding, and baby announcements on Facebook, I guess I assumed that no one would be interested or happy for us. But everyone's genuine excitement and joy has brought me to tears for days now, and I feel truly loved and thankful to be joining such an amazing family, and to have truly spectacular friends and family of my own.

Now that I've got that mushy stuff out of the way...back to moving pins off my secret board to my new *public* board! *SQUEAL*


My cat is still judging me, though.
