Engagement Pictures and such

I am not announcing my upcoming nuptials to the world. why? i don't really want to. i have no connections to anyone in my hometown anymore, and further than that, i don't need to be the gossip at the supermarket amongst the moms. it's lovely to do, but i just do not care at all and i think i feel pretty awkward about it. actually i think i feel more like: i haven't lived there for 10 years so i don't want to tell you i'm getting married. but now i'm realizing that most people have engagement pictures taken. abe and i have a ton of pictures together, but what we don't have are pictures where we both look stunning and perfect. wouldn't that be nice? probably. wouldn't it be nice to have pictures of us stunning and perfect in the boston public garden? yes probably.

however, i am thinking about hiring a wedding planner. not one of those like every detail type ones, but maybe just to help me organize the vendors and give me some concept ideas because i think that's what i'm already having the most trouble with. i like a lot of things, i just want everything to kind of flow and go together and right now in my head it's just a jumbled mess. but i don't know, it's just a thought.
