the makings of a bridezilla
Today we had another 8 hours off from work because our Navajo Nation president declared "Administrative Leave" for all branches. Today is Inauguration Day of our President, his Vice-President, new Council Delegates, and other elected officials.I chose not to attend because I don't agree nor am I happy with the amount of money they've put into the festivities. People are always complaining that there is never enough money in our budgets to put forth to services for our people and yet it's extravaganzas like this that suck up all that money. I despise politics.
I still have work to do but I'm doing it at home to save me the hour-long roundtrip from my home to my office.
Save the Date: This morning, I went to a party store to take a gander at their wedding invitation sample books. I was searching for some Save-the-Date cards to send out. They didn't have much of a selection so I finally decided that it would be best if Brandon and I just made our own on the computer. He's a talented graphic designer anyhow.
We shall send them out at the end of the month.
Who to Invite? I was thinking this morning in the shower about which of my friends I would invite. We're trying to keep the wedding a relatively small affair. Brandon and I agreed that we would only invite ten of our closest friends and 5-7 of the friends that we actually have in common together.
I've gone over the 10-mark by 5 people and it's so difficult to axe who the 5 would be. At least, I know there are definitely 5 people I want there and they're all my best friends.
Photographer: We agreed that our close friend would take our photos for us. He's a talented photographer. His website is here. Brandon and I have until May or even late April to shape up because that's when we're going to take some photos for the wedding invitations. hehe
I think for the rest of the day, I'll be emailing my friends for their mailing addresses. Ugh. I've put off this planning for so long that now it's finally catching up with me!!! I hope I don't become a bridezilla. lol
BTW, we're having a Navajo Traditional Wedding. I found this painting of a Navajo bride, groom, and medicine man on the web. It'll kind of give you an idea of how our wedding will be like. If you're interested, here is a good read on an article written by a Navajo medicine man on how the wedding used to be like in the past and how it's been altered a bit in modern times.
