Traditions

Dave and I are the least traditional people on this planet. First off, we moved in together before we were married. We bought a home together before we were married. Hell, we had a baby before we were married! Not to mention my step son as well. So when it comes to actually getting married, we are staying far from traditions.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I never even wanted to get married before I met Dave. Now that we are actually doing it, and thinking about all these things that we need to make decisions on my mind is made up on several things. We are both Catholic and our baby is baptized Catholic. My family is fairly religious I'd say especially my grandparents. Dave and I go to church bi-weekly, because of Brayden mostly and having him EOW. We want to spend the max amount of time with him so we don't go to church the weekends he's with us. Anyway, we never wanted to get married in a church. At first we just wanted to get married outside. Now with the amazing work of pinterest, and moving to the country, we want to get married on a farm, with a barn reception. Far from a church wedding!

We aren't having a traditional ceremony either. We want in and out. Twenty minutes tops. We are also not having a priest or minister marrying us. I want my blogger friend JQ to come in and marry us! She's awesome and we're going to have some great memories of a beautiful ceremony for sure. A barn reception with easy food and a cake that my aunt will bake for us will follow. After that a late night bon fire so we can have smores and hang out at the barn. Things like this don't seem the traditional or main stream but it's completely and totally us.

and in the end, that's what matters the most isn't it?
