  Hey, they look cute, but you might want to edit out the part that has the last name (the website).  Read up on OPSEC and PERSEC as they'll be your friend as a military spouse!
  
  
  
  Glad to hear your vendors will work with you!  Be sure to get everything in writing, and add a military clause to the contract in case the new day doesn't work either for whatever reason.  It's all wonderful to have people verbally agree to work with you, but having it in writing protects you.  I'm marrying a soon-to-be lawyer, so I'm a bit paranoid about that stuff!

  Thanks for reminding me. Is it okay now?
  You're right about having it in writing. A bit of a different subject, but I know someone that got married and the photographer took pictures over all of their wedding pictures so now they have no pictures of their wedding. How awful. I'm making sure I mention that to my photographer and we have an understanding of how we will deal if something like that were to happen. [all in writing of course :)]

  Perfect, yes!
  
  And yeah, writing is the only way to protect yourself.  Though paying with a credit card for as much as possible helps, too, because the Credit Card Protection Act means you can cancel payment if the services aren't done as agreed (and disappearing photos would be a prime example) and then it's the credit card company's responsibility to seek repayment from the vendor.  It was a tip I was given early on and very glad for, so I hope it's as helpful to others!  Paying with a check would mean you would have to be the one to go after them if something went wrong.  Sometimes it's unavoidable - our caterer, for example, wouldn't accept credit card.
