  I can help with a couple of them!
  
  

  Waxing - oh yes.. ouch. Do you recommend getting a wax for the honeymoon etc?
  Yes! But I am a big fan of waxing. I started about a year out from the wedding just to see if I liked it and got hooked! Do you wax now? If not, I would try to go now to see if you like it. If it were me I wouldnt want any surprises that close to my wedding day. Also know that it can take a couple days for redness to go away. I got waxed on Thursday for my Saturday wedding and it was perfect! It last me a couple weeks too so I was good to go for both the wedding and HM. The other thing to note is that you need somthing like 1/4 inch of hair for it to work. This is usually about 4 weeks of not shaving for me so you have to time it right.

  Marriage License - when did you pick yours up?? (we are in Hennepin Cty)
  I think it lasts for 6 months in MN so I would go get yours now. There is really no reason to wait and it took about a week to get to me after we applied for it.

  Hey girl..
  
  I started getting facials every month starting Jan 2011 for our May 2011 wedding. I would schedule one the week before the wedding, mine was the week of and I was already breaking out from stress and there was nothing they could do at that point but have my MUA cover it up.
  
  Yay! Have fun with the rest of planning

  Now to the questions... I'm more wondering about timing and if you ladies did these!
  

  • Facials - did you ladies do a couple facials before the big day? when did you start them?  I get facials no matter what every other month. Try to get your final facial about two weeks prior to the wedding. Sometimes you break out a little after the facial so I wouldn't risk it.
  • Waxing - oh yes.. ouch. Do you recommend getting a wax for the honeymoon etc?  I didn't do this but I would also recommend doing this way before your actual wedding day. Don't try something new right before the wedding--you never know how you might react to the treatment.
  • Marriage License - when did you pick yours up?? (we are in Hennepin Cty)  We got ours I think about three months prior. It's valid for 6 months
  • Veil - I still need one... and want one that is just to the edge of my train (chapel length train) - so, I'll want a Chapel veil, correct?  Yes. Look around. Almost everywhere I looked, they were SO expensive. I ended up finding my veil (not chapel however) for $45.

  Good luck with all your planning.

  since the other gals have answered the other questions... I'll just chime in about the veil.  I ended up having my alterations lady make one for me.  I just wanted a basic one and couldn't find one for less than $100, which I wasn't interested in paying that much.  She made it for $25.  Mine was fingertip length, so a longer one may be a little more...  Might be something to look into.

  I just got our marriage license last week - we went to the Ridgedale Service Center, gave them the application, and walked out with the license in hand that day - no waiting!  Side note, they give you two extras that say "souvenir copy" on the bottom.... as though its a deck of cards or a shot glass with your name on it that you picked up in Disney World, lol!!

  Lauren just a FYI you can get your marriage license in whatever county you want. We got married in Stearns county but with work I was always at Anoka County Jail/Courthouse so I got ours there. David was out of state so I had to fill out an extra form and get it certified.
  
  
  I was living in Hennepin county at the time but did not have the patience to tackle that office. Just a FYI if you don't want to eithre.
  
  Just know that int he future you will have to contact the issuing county for copies.
