  Wow! You have way more done than me and my wedding is 10/20!!! I'm getting even more nervous now.  I definitely think you're okay.  I can relate to being overwhelmed.  I'm doing all the planning myself and all the little details are killing me! I think you have it under control though.

  Everytime I see these checklists I feel I have so little actually done in comparison to everyone else. We've got the church for the rehearsal and dinner and ceremony. A venue for the reception. My dress and 2 of 3 BM dresses are ordered I just wish I could make my sister get on hers...our photographer is booked. Cake is taken care of as a gift but we still need to think about the groomscake. Catering is said to be taken care of. FFIL told me and FMIL just not to worry about it! I've got my shoes. I still need to get undergarments and accessories and a veil. I have no decor planned for the reception because I can't find what I'm looking for. We haven't spoken with the officiant. We still have to get my ring and get FI's resized. We've got to book a florist and DJ...and so many other little things...

  Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

  I feel like you're are doing GREAT. We're pretty close on what is done/not done, except, Im feeling like i have more left to do than you do.
  I'm not sure what you're thinking of doing for your rehersal dinner, but I was given the heads up that any place that is a restaurant type setting will be booking up faster for that weekend because of it being the Saturday before halloween, so I'm passing the info to you.  We're havign our rehersal dinner at this sweet brewpub in one of their private rooms, but I almost didnt get it because someone wanted it for a halloween party. 
  
  Officiant is probably your next biggest thing I would think.
  
  I'm second guessing my dress as well so i'm ABSOLUTELY no help there.
  

  
  Again, you're doing very well!!
