Where My Wedding Journey Begins

I'm happy. I've just been proposed last night, and I'm getting married in 100 days from today.

This is why I started this website, out of the joy and excitement I'm feeling today, and because I want to have the memory of these 100 days to a whole new life. At least this is what I imagine my marriage to be: a new life, much better than the previous one.

I'm determined to have a beautiful wedding ceremony, and I'm going to work hard for this. You'll know everything, because I intend to write in this diary day after day, what I need to do, what I actually do and how I am preparing myself for that big day: the wedding.I'll write and send the wedding invitations all by myself, I'll take care of the catering and of the room decorations, everything.

For the next 100 days, this is my general action plan:

Tell all my friends, so we can share the joy (half of them already know, as I called them last night)
Lose weight. I'm far from being slim, and if I want great wedding photos, then I need to lose 20 pounds or even more, in order to be able to wear the wedding dress I've always been dreaming on. I'll try to learn about weight loss diets, or other weight loss programs that give results. I think I'm going to shy away from weight loss supplements, because I'm not chasing here fast weight loss, but rather a long-term, healthy fitness plan. I'll tell you everything as I progress with my research. One thing is excluded: surgical weight loss. I'm afraid of knives and of doctors, so I'm never gonna do this. There are other weight loss tips that work and don't hurt that much.
Choose a theme for my wedding party. I want it to be momorable for all my guests, and so it will be. My wedding theme has to be unique and it has to reflect our personality as a couple, as well as our distinct personalities. This is quite a challenge, isn't it? Maybe I need to hire a wedding planner. I'll see.
Find a church, find a restaurant, find a wedding photographer and all other related "ingredients".
Order my wedding dress and make sure my size stays the same until the wedding. I need a weight maintenance diet and I'll probalby have to change my lifestyle a bit, so I can get into a fitness program, because the flat tummy is a must, if I want to be beautiful.

This is all for today. I'm going to find myself a personal trainer, to join a fitness program, and maybe I'd go for a nutritionist to teach me how to make a healthy weight loss diet. See you all tomorrow with good news!
