We're so excited!

Now that we have a date and location, it feels real to us and we finally feel free to move forward with planning.  This weekend, Kate and I sat down and made a huge three page to do list of all the things we need to get done before the wedding.  While a three page to do list would normally feel daunting, with eight months to plan it just feels exciting.  We see this as an opportunity to mesh traditional rituals with what makes sense for us, all ending in a giant party affirming our relationship.  What's not to love about that?

We have been holding off on doing a lot of things, because mentally we weren't ready to move forward until we knew the date and location.  But now we feel free to do them!  This weekend we chose our wedding colors (main - green, purple; highlights - blue, yellow), began assembling our invitations (think trees!), started assigning wedding party roles (wedding day coordinator, chuppah assembly person), designed our wedsite (coming to you soon!), and discussed the ceremony itself.

So, so exciting!
