  You guys all scare me!  I am living in TX but my family is all in NJ. I was hoping to snag a Aug  date in 2012, but that's as far as I've gotten!  You ladies are all in 2012 after me and well ahead in the planning.

  
  

  So far I have:

  I narrowed down my venues to two options

  Have an initial guest list

  Have an initial (well over!) budget

  and I tried on a couple dresses.

  
  

  Still to do ... Everything?

  
  

  Maybe my FI is right and we should postpone? Any suggestions? I'm a bit of a tomboy, and I just never thought about any of this stuff until he gave me the ring. I feel a little silly saying even that.
