Ok, I know this thread is a little old but I thought I might try and revive it
I got engaged in September to my boyfriend of about 10 years. I moved to Texas for/with him and we have finally decided to get married. I have found a venue close by my house that is very budget friendly for the ceremony and recpetion. The date is picked- Oct 01,2013! My colors are dark purple, white, and black. I am still waiting for my dress to be shipped to me (went dress shopping with my mom in CA and she surprised me by buying my dress). I am so excited! Theres so much to do and plan. I just wish I had more friends here in TX to do wedding stuff with, Im doing a lot of shopping alone which isnt much fun. Any one else in the planning stage of thier wedding??
