African American Weddings

CHECKS!!!!

I haven't really been feeling this wedding stuff too much lately... but I do have some checks now:

All BMs have their shoes
All BMs have ordered their dresses (3 have received them)
Bridesmaid jewelry has been purchased. (I was able to go to the America's Mart in Atlanta which is basically floors of wholesale merchandise that most store owners come to for supplying their shops. It was wonderful but overwhelming. I was able to get necklaces and earrings for all 6 BMs for about $35...)
My jewelry has been purchased (also from America's Mart)
DJ and lighting have been paid off
Photography is paid off
Transportation (trolley) has been paid off
Wedding invitations have been designed (I just need to send the final deposit and print and assemble)
Met with DOC
Created program mock-up
Ordered personalized Chucks for FI and I
Had job shower last week... my mom's shower for me is this weekend...

Next up:
Order and pay off the wedding cake
Pay off videography
Pay off reception venue
Print and assemble invitations
Print and assemble programs
Mail out invites
1st Dress fitting
Tasting for reception

    Great job girl!  You have done A LOT for someone who isn't feeling wedding planning.  I would hate to see you when you are feeling it!  LOL  Laughing

    Thanks girl! We are using One Sound and Entertainment for our DJ and part of the lighting <a href="http://www.onesoundandent.com/" rel='nofollow'>http://www.onesoundandent.com/</a>. For the trolley we are going with Georgia Trolley Services <a href="http://www.onesoundandent.com/" rel='nofollow'>http://www.onesoundandent.com/</a> we got a REALLY good price with him. I fell in love with the idea after seeing these pictures <a href="http://singphotography.com/blog/?p=195" rel='nofollow'>http://singphotography.com/blog/?p=195</a>... this is the actual trolley that we will be using.

    LOL... I feel like things are working themselves out somehow... But I am into it now and ready to get everything done so I can have a stress-free couple of weeks leading up to the big day.
