After being engaged for exactly 5 months and doing my research on everything from locations, receptions, photogs etc, I finally got the courage to call my dad (we haven't spoken in years - there wasn't a falling out or anything just an emotional distance from my end I guess... long story) but anyway now I'M READY!

I didn't want to book anything until I told EVERYONE that needed to know and now I'm just as excited as the day my FI proposed!!
Alright, here I go. Let the "checks" begin!
