I'm also so excited for what comes next for you! Have you talked about the wedding at all? When do you think you will start the moving in process? Also, I keep forgetting about your little one! How's he feeling about all of this? or is he too little to really understand?
It's so sweet that he's starting to plan how to combine your belongings and your lives Who's got the better stuff? What do you think you'll keep and get rid of? It's such a fun (and a little bit stressful) time, the whole moving in together period. I'm glad we did it early to be honest with you... I still get little butterflies when I look at our closet and it has both of our stuff plus some stuff that's ours together in it. I hope the same happens for you What's his story? I can't remember if you've mentioned it before or not?

Wow, you are going to busy, busy during the next couple of months with moving and wedding planning. Small and intimate, and/or eloping leads to a lot of flexibility. Summer is only a short time away. Do you have anything in particular in mind yet - courthouse, small outdoor ceremony, a different city, state or country than where you live? So many options when you don't have a big wedding and can do things on shorter notice!

It's been lovely! Wedding was mid-June, everything pretty much went according to plan, except for the torrential rain! Bye bye garden wedding! But we just moved things inside the historic home we were at, my weather nerd fella had fun studying the projections and radar in order to make the call, and we got a cute shot outside in the rain huddled under a big umbrella I would not have done it a different way, a small wedding was perfect for us, and let us really prioritize where our budget was spent.
One thing of note: a small wedding, even as rigorously trimmed down as ours, is still is a pain and a half to plan. It doesn't matter if you have 15 people or 150, you're still having to make choices on everything. And sometimes non-traditional venue weddings have more moving pieces for the couple to manage, since there isn't a dedicated person there to oversee everything. The best money we spent was hiring a day-of-coordinator to just be point person and direct everyone and make sure things were running smoothly.
After the wedding, we did a mini-moon at a local hotel for the weekend, then shifted into high gear over the next 2 weeks moving the husband in. His house sold and closed at the end of June, and we left after that for a proper honeymoon and got some much needed R&R! Since then just enjoying being married, and when we have spare time we've been doing home improvement projects. We joke that we're nesting, getting ready for the winter
