Yesterday my husband and I had been married for nine years and eight months. We now have four months left until our 10 year wedding anniversary. That is 17 weeks and two days. This past October I had my husband and I take couple photos (In the rain no less. Thank you England) with our camera on a timer. That does not seem so long ago, which makes me realize just how little time we have left to plan. I had been holding off starting with the invitations because I wanted to make my own hand written with calligraphy However we really had a small window of time to let friends know so they can RSVP and I was not going to have all my supplies in time. I let go of that notion and finally came up with a Eco-Friendly wedding website. There are a lot of options out there for builders and I could have built it myself. In the end I decided to go with Wix.com so I could move on to the next stages of planning.

Pinterest. I have been pinning things to a 'Vow Renewal' board probably since I created my account. Once we crossed the one year left mark I started getting a little more serious with my planning and pinning of ideas. I had wanted to do a huge 3-0 birthday last year and when that fell through a lot of my ideas started bleeding over into the Vow Renewal board. Next I took my OCD and and broke one Vow Renewal board into twelve different 'I Do Again' boards for the following categories: Inspiration, Accessories, Attendants, Cakes, Ceremony, Flowers, Hair, Gowns, Invites & Stationary, Menu, Photography, and Reception. You can check out Bonnie Rose's Pinterest to view specific pins and other boards. I wish I had pinterest back in 2002 - 2003 when we were planning our wedding. I still have my huge white binder with many specific dividers and filled with anything needed for my wedding planning. It became a scrapbook of sorts and it is kinda fun to look through now, ten years later.

Every Wednesday I will touch on more of our planning and updates for our 10th Anniversary Vow renewal. Is anyone else planning a wedding for 2013? If you are already married would you renew your vows?

So Adorable! I'm getting married in about 3 months (July 5th) and couldn't be more excited! You seem way more on top of it though than I am! Hah. Any advice you have for a newly married couple is appreciated :)

Wow three months away, I bet you are so excited! That time will fly by fast. Just enjoy every moment and take photos of the planning process. I wish I had more photos of getting ready for the wedding since it goes by so fast.
