    I think I've AWed enough here lately, but it feels so good to get checks marked off!

    This evening my mom's friend is coming over to bring me samples of the chocolate covered pretzels she is making for my bridal shower favors. :)

    Other than that, I don't think I have anything else that I haven't already told everyone.

    But that's the point- to be an attention wh*re :)  That is awesome that you are getting so much done!

    We got our first RSVP yesterday!!!  <3 my cousin who got it back to me so quickly - especially since some guests haven't even gotten them yet!  This is by far the best part of wedding planning!

    It is a great feeling to get the RSVP's in the mail. I was bummed yesterday when I didn't receive another.

    Yea, thanks to your checklist you gave me, it put me in place that I was no where near together like I thought I was, so I blame you for making me go crazy! :P

    Kayla - there is no such thing as too much AW! Liz - Congrats on the RSVPs :) I can't wait till I'm at that stage. As for me, my days remaining are in the 100s now (well, 198, but that still counts as being in the 100s).

    WR: We might be working a Salsa band into our budget.  My cousin does vocals and plays for a band, and they are actually going to play at the Detroit Salsa Awards soon.  If I can afford them, they are going to play for half the wedding and doing the other half with a DJ.  

    Also, we are perfectly on budget right now! I'm hoping to book the Church within the next month, then the photographer the next.  G'ahhh I can't wait!  :)

    Yesterday, I was looking for something different to do with my invitations (they're rather modern and simple) and decided to do an old school wax seal on the envelope to dress it up. I've never seen one and I LOVE being the first of my friends/family to do something. That way, when they plan their weddings they can be like "remember when hleggio did that?" or at least if they use the idea, I'll know I did it first ;)

    I love the idea of this but the post office might charge you more to mail them because they cannot go through the machines (the seal may break off and jam their machines.)  Just an FYI.

    I have my second dress fitting on Saturday!  We are meeting with the pastor tonight to finalize all the details.  I have almost received all the responses back, a week late and after some emails and phone calls, and it looks like we will be around 180-190 so no worries about being to cozy in the hall!   B-party invites went out and those plans are on its way. 

    My non-wr AW is that I have a final on Monday and then no class until the 31st.  Wait that's right before the wedding, so that's more like a aw and a vent.  Yay for almost 2 weeks to finish everything up for the wedding and boo to starting class 2 days before the wedding.

    I finally have something to AW about.  First, I went with my BM's 2 weeks ago and picked out BM dresses.  Yay!  We have to order them all by April 15.  Tax day so they can't forget.  :)

    Today I just sent in my deposit for my makeup artist.  One more vendor selected!  Yay!

    Well I have a couple things. I made an appointment for a cake tasting for the 22nd and I cant wait. Also, I got my bridal shower cards from Vistaprint in the mail and they look exactly how I designed them. Fi put together the invites so now all that needs to be done for those are the RSVP cards and reception cards.
    I ordered my maps for OOT guests and photo share cards and return address labels from vistaprint. They will be here 10 days earlier then expected. They should arive tomorrow. Very excited about that.

    FI and I FINALLY decided on a venue....it will be the Book Cadillac.  I'm still not in love with the room but I haven't really fallen in love with anything so we'll just have to bring in fabulous lighting and decor.  Despite my lukewarm feeling toward the space, I'm still really excited to have nailed down this decision.

    WR: My first shower invites go out this week!  Also on Sunday we got our wedding bands and I got an e-ring upgrade; I don't think I AWed about that yet.

    NWR: I have a couple of opportunities to apply for some jobs in my field, so I'm really excited!  I also am well on my way to being finished with my grad school apps - I'm hoping to be all finished and submitted in about a week.

    <div>We traded in my other ring and I picked the same style solitaire but with the next size up (in carats) that the store carried. I believe the diamond might be of a slightly higher quality as well. </div>
