The LOOONNNGGG Engagement...

While our ceremony will be very simple, relatively low cost and will be a bit of a departure from some standard traditions, we have some other plans coming up and some other priorities in place. (Interior painting at the house, some new furniture, a couple of trips planned)

We don't want the wedding to become the sole focus of our lives. We are way more concerned with the marriage than the wedding.

And although it's just one day, there are certain elements of the day that we feel are must haves that we are prepared to budget out and save for. We are pay for everything ourselves, paying for everything cash. And yes, we could have raided some accounts to do it sooner, but we decided it is best to push the date back to be reasonable.

Oh…and last, but certainly not least, this is the Friday before Labor Day. This will be three years to the Friday (but not the date) that we met.
