Well, I'm not newly engaged, but I'm still planning. When's your day Carmen? I set my 12/13/14 last June and we're doing destination because of his family living all across the US. We've been saving like crazy since we were engaged and have alot more saved up than I thought we would!
Of course, my family isn't happy about it, but its my day, we've waited over 10 years so tough I say!

There are so many ways to DIY things. One thing I've been doing is using my Cricut to personalize all my stuff.
