Since Oct. 8, a to-do list has guided my life.
Not a checklist of daily tasks; a list laying out the next nine months of my life in decisions.
In November, I posed for pictures. In February, a tent was rented. In July, I’ll take a weekend trip.
Each task is accompanied by a dollar amount, and sometimes that amount stretches into the thousands.
The upside of getting engaged in the social media age is that there are dozens of different lists available online outlining the steps between getting on one knee and standing at the altar. Since I popped the question to Audrey in the Nichols Arboretum last fall, we’ve slowly worked through that list.
Our proudest moment was that day in November; the day we posed for our engagement pictures. I took the day off from work — Audrey has Tuesdays off — and we took out chunk out of our to-do list.
First, we traveled to her grandparents’ house in the Thumb which we were leaning toward using as our venue. Within a few minutes, we found the perfect spot: a patch of grass nestled between the woods and the banks of the large pond that spans the length of their backyard.

This eventually deprives many women of the past had viagra without prescription fuller sizes of breast. We traveled around the block to a bed-and-breakfast that we were considering for our reception venue, and in little more than a half-hour had locked it down for our date.
Then, we drove less than a mile to Kingston’s only pizza parlor, Beagio’s. Having pizza as the entree at our reception was a to three priority for both of us, and with the dearth of options in the area, we were nervous that something would have to give.
But, we loved Beagio’s, and booked their services for our reception — and shaved hundreds of dollars off our expected spending in the process.
From there, we drove down to Ann Arbor, to pose for pictures around town and in the arboretum where we got engaged a month earlier. And (SPOILER ALERT) they turned out great.
Most planning doesn’t go as smoothly as it did that day. We had been trying to figure out what the groomsmen should wear for months before we finally settled on a charcoal gray J. Ferrar suit on Tuesday night. We’ve talked about booking our honeymoon, and saved up money for it, since we got engaged, but still haven’t bit the bullet. And, on Monday, Audrey will move to DeKalb, Illinois to start a new job as Curator of Education and Interpretation at the Ellwood House Museum.
We’ll be doing the rest of our wedding planning with 250 miles in between us.
But, when it’s all said and done, we’ll be married.
And, I’m told it will be smooth sailing from there.
