October 2012 Weddings

Hello and some Checks!

Hi ladies,

First off, I am very excited to be able to be posting here! After almost 8 years my fiance proposed this past Sunday. We had already started looking into dates and venues as we knew that once we were officially engaged we wanted to have a shorter engagement in order to work around my school schedule. 

It has officially been a week and what a week it has been! 

We have:

-picked a date (October 6th)
-booked a ceremony site and found a priest to marry us
-booked a venue (which includes linens, catering, and bar)
-signed up for marriage prep classes

AND... today I just happened to come across a 50% sample sale at a local bridal salon, and FOUND MY DRESS! 

next up: Guest list and invitations!

I look forward to becoming part of The Knot community!

    Congrats! Other important vendors to take care of soon are the photographer, DJ, florist and you'll need to get BM dresses ordered soon. Booking a hair and makeup provider is key as well.
