  • You guys are making me feel behind!

    We've:
    - Booked ceremony/reception venue
    - Booked caterer but haven't picked the menu yet
    - Booked photographer
    - Booked officiant
    - Bought my dress
    - Registered at 2 stores
    - Ordered our STDs - they should arrive this week and then be mailed by the end of next week
    - Picked a date to do engagement photos, but that's not until April
    - Reserved a small block of rooms (I think our OOT guests are going to end up spread out all over the city so I didn't see a point in doing a big block anywhere)

    Next big things:
    - Book a DJ (I gave this task to FI and now I regret it lol)
    - Go BM dress shopping on the 16th
    - Cake tasting
    - Pick FI's attire

    Princess, Jenna,  I'm glad I'm not the only slacker!! FI and I are getting married August 10th.

    I have venue, church, photographer, videographer and DJ booked and my dress is ordered. STDS have been sent.

    We're registering next weekend and I spent the day today calling hair/MUA ad calling florists. I'm panicking a bit, though, because though our church is booked our priest from CCM in college was supposed to be doing the ceremony (we got the appropriate approval from the diocese) and now he's fallen off the earth, no returned phone calls/facebook calls even just to go out, catch up and get a beer not being answered. So I'm stressing.

    BM dresses are picked but not ordered, flowers are vaguely envisioned in my head but not concrete, and I am starting to get a bit worried/antsy!
