So I was perusing The Knot, stalking my friend Kristen who is getting married in December, wondering when she will EVER post her wedding web page, when I realized there are message boards for brides-to-be and I figured "Why not? Let me go take a look."
I clicked on the April 2008 brides because I'm pretty sure this is when we'll get married and found a host of girls talking about budgets, color schemes, etc. I then stumbled upon a post of how far people have gotten in their wedding planning and I thought I'd compare myself thinking "Ha, I think I have my reception and ceremony site, I'm on top of the ball here!"
Alas, boy was I wrong! These girls are certifiably NUTS! They literally have planned almost everything--with over 1 year to go! They have bridesmaids dresses picked out, flowers, DJs, photographers, favors, EVERYTHING!!!! They've even already sent out save the dates (or STDs as many of us brides-to-be like to them!)
I thought for a second I was crazy for not having done this and then I quickly realized--nope, it's them, they're just INSANE!
So--here's my question--how many of you are those girls who keep binders of what they want and you've known since you were 3 how everything in your wedding would look like? It's ok if you are--I just want to know how many people are like me and are just doing this as we go along and how many have had this whole thing orchestrated for years.

Yes, some brides-to-be have been planning their wedding before they even met the right guy.
I have to mention that when I was picking up my dress last August 06, there was a bride that was picking her wedding gown up and she was getting married at the end of 07. Ok, that's over a year until she gets married. Insane!!!!!!!
Love your blog!
STD's? Um, I think that acronym is already taken.... :-) -MAL
