Wedding Homework?

JC & I knew that planning our wedding would be a lot of work (I mean fun), but we didn't realize that we'd actually have homework assignments.  Our super fun photographer team, Justin & Mary Marantz, gave us a "little survey" to fill out which would help them get to know us better before our engagement shoot.  It's 4 pages. Right, four pages.

Between my crazy work schedule and JC's stupid (oops, did I say that out loud?) travel schedule, we have what feels like a few precious hours a month together these days.  Needless to say, we found lots of other things to do than fill out a million questions in writing.  When we couldn't procrastinate any longer, JC & I finally sat down on the couch with a pen to do our assignment.

A bit of advice for everyone: find 5 minutes to tell your loved ones why you love them.  Just 3 good reasons will do.  That was just one of the questions on our survey, but you can't imagine how good it feels to hear why the love of your life loves you. J

We spent a couple hours finishing the survey (while we watched the Red Sox on tv) but we cruised through most of the questions.  I'm convinced Justin & Mary are relationship geniuses.  Not only are they a great duo, but they spend much of their time capturing the best of other couples on film.

I have to say, this experience was one of the more fun parts of the planning process.  It was really nice spending a little time focusing on the "Why" JC & I are getting married, not just the "How"!
