Planning A wedding
One of my best friends from college is getting married this summer! On one hand it really scares me because she is only 3 years older than me and she totally has her life together and she is obviously at that stage where she is ready to get married (or at least I would hope so since she is ha). But I am a junior and still have so much time left in school (my major is pharmacy) and I definitely don't think I will be ready to get married in the next few years (even like ten years) ha. Even if I found the right guy I want to do so many things on my own first. So I definitely envy Claire.
On the other hand though, I get to help with wedding stuff so it's so much fun! She is having Ghirardelli chocolate as her wedding candy for the favors which is super cute because the candy comes in these little Tiffany blue boxes with a ribbon around it to match her colors.
I also got to help plan the bachelorette party (my favorite part) and the bridal shower (not so fun ha). The bachelorette party is going to have a ton of cool favors (sort of naughty ha) and we are going downtown to the bars and got a suite for 2 nights (that's right, 2 nights). I think when I get married I'm going to skip the bridal shower, it seems boring to me for some reason. But I do know for sure when I get married I will definitely have an open bar (I think if I had to chose between and open bar and a GROOM I would chose the open bar ha-ha).
But overall helping with the wedding was such a fun experience. By us helping, Claire was less stressed out and when we tried on our bridesmaid dresses we had such a great time. We got to see her wedding dress and had mimosas and just relaxed because the wedding is so close and basically everything is taken care of already except for tiny details.
I do however think that as much fun as this was, I want to have a wedding planner when I get married. I know that sounds snotty, but I definitely don't think I could see the big picture and put it all together myself.
