Were Getting Married In 2 Months

so i wouldnt really call it eloping since were telling you all. if it was up to us we would elope lol but didnt want to hurt anyones feelings so we just wanted to tell everyone that we are planning to get married the first week of July. we will be going to Oklahoma to nathans Grandma and Grandpas farm to visit so we just decided to do it there. Grandpa isnt doing so well and its VERY important to nathan (and I) for them to be there. of course we would like everyone there but right now under the circumstances its more important for them to be there. i had the wedding planned already for 2013 down to the last detail, the budget was set and all we needed to do is start hiring the people. but life isnt guaranteed and waiting isnt a risk we were willing to take. when nathans out of school we will probably do some sort of vow renewal and have the bigger wedding then and that will be in AZ. we are really excited to share this moment and even more excited to share it with Grandma and Grandpa. we are more then happy to bring the wedding to them since they are not in a position to travel and i dont blame them for not wanting to, i wouldnt either if i was them. so were aiming for July 7th its just hard to work around grandma and grandpas schedule since they only plan doc appts a week in advanced but we will make it work!!! it will be very quaint. i will have a understated dress, the kids will be semi formal and nathan will be in slacks, dress shirt and tie. we will have a simple arch and my bouquet will be handmade. it will have a beautiful view of the farm land but ill tell you the most beautiful part, grandma and grandpa sitting behind us! i think some are going to be disappointed by our decision but when it comes down to making a decision like this you really have to weigh the options. we can have a wedding any time in the future but to picture the possibility of grandma and grandpa not being there just doesn't seem right.
