i was just wondering if there were any other students here who are planning a wedding away from school? my fiance's family is from tampa, which is where we want to have the wedding. however, i go to school at UF- which is a 2 hour drive from tampa.
are there any others who commute to plan your wedding? do you find yourself hopping from one vendor to the next every weekend or do you plan at school for the most part?
Re: long-distance wedding planning?
check out your local board, vendors might be closer to you (for interview purposes) and still not have a travel fee to tampa...
if you really don't think you'll have time, plan the wedding for 2012...

My fiance lives in WI, I live in SC (where I go to grad school), and the wedding will be in my hometown in IA. I've been trying to do my wedding planning in chunks every time I go home. For instance, last time I was home (in May) I bought a dress, reserved the photographer, reserved tuxes, picked out bridesmaid dresses, and finalized the menu... all in 5 days!
I'll only be going home once more before my wedding in May, 2011. I couldn't do it without my mom, though. She's been great about doing all the research before I get there.
Anyone else having a 3-state wedding? haha
Now, I'm nervous that I will need to be in MN to finish planning, but we can't go back
Goodluck all OOT brides!!!! It will all work out!

The last time my FI and I came home we planned to visit 3 sites in person. Its a slower decision making process but I like the pace since I won't make any rushed decisions. My wedding will be next April in the middle of my student teaching. So I am trying to get everything done before then. Good luck to you! It isn't as hard as it seems
