2012 Brides Check In: It's That Time Again!

island07b2b

So my fellow 2012 brides what's going on?  What have you been up to?

 Me:

1. I have been narrowing down my videography options.  I have two in mind. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have made a decision. 

2.  Working out like a dog!  It's been a lot of fun though.  Next month is fitness boot camp!  If I am not on the board that much you will know why. 

3.  In September I plan to start looking at gowns.  YAY!! 

MrsBoss2012

1. Ceremony and reception venue booked!

2. I've tried on dresses once but I plan to go ALONE this Tuesday just to get a sense of what I really want without hearing everyone' s opinions first. The first time I went I couldn't tell if I really liked the dress or liked how my family commented on it.

3. I've contacted three photographers that were in my budget and after a week almost 2 I have YET to hear back. I think thats unprofessional unless they have some excuse but I will be redirecting my search.

4. Trying to get a clear wedding vision. I am so lost on what I want my day to look like!

6.  Exercising...omg I was almost in tears the other day cause with all this wedding planning I have been eating, snacking, and snacking some more. I'm not happy about it at the moment, but FI will be home tomorrow and he said we can work out together if I want.  So I might take him up on that offer.
 7. Trying not to stress out

@MrsBoss2012 Whenever I don't hear back from a vendor or they take more than 3-4 days to get back to me I just keep it moving and don't look back.  I agree that it is unprofessional and I feel like why should I have to track a vendor down to give them my money.  I don't think so.
