October 2013 Weddings

Hi all! New here :) *Long*

Well new to this section, but I've been lurking around TK for about a year now. 

I did fill out a post in the getting to know you section, but per Stina's post I figured I would post this up here as well. :) FH and I are getting married on 10/06 here in Rhode Island and we cannot wait! We have a lot of checks done, but still so many more to go. We've been engaged since November of 2011 and wanted a long engagement so I could graduate school and get situated in my career. 

So far we have the following done: 
- Honeymoon
- DJ
- Photographer
- Florist (also assisting with event decor)
- Bakery
- Officiant
- Bridesmaid's dresses are ordered
- I have my dress/shoes/veils/tiara
- Uplighting
- Photobooth
- Venue: ceremony and reception are on the same site, we're hoping for an outdoor ceremony
- Hair/Makeup for the girls and Hair/Makeup for me
- We did our engagement shoot back in October down in Newport, RI
- Hotel rooms are blocked off
- Passports are done
- Save the dates were sent out New Year's Eve
- Videographer is booked (but that situation is hairy so we're hoping to fix it this month)
- Custom aisle runner is ordered
- We completed our registry on New Year's Eve
- I have a LOT of my decor stuff already, for the candy table, tables themselves, my escort cards are done (no names yet, of course), unity candle, centerpieces for the deck tables are made, I made votives with crystals on them, server/flutes, etc.

And I'm probably forgetting some stuff also. We're going to the venue tonight to finalize our linen choices that we picked out back in October. It should be fun! With so much checked off there is still so much to do! I look forward to all of it though, it's going to be a FAST 9 months!

    WOW!  You have a lot done.  Welcome!

  • Welcome! We also have a long engagement. We got engaged August 1, 2011.

     

  • Welcome!  Your list puts mine to shame!  Well done and looking forward to seeing more of you around the board.
    S'mores. Just S'mores please.
  • Thanks for the welcomes, girls! I got an early jump on a lot of my stuff because I knew who I wanted for vendors. I figured I would much rather book early and have the time to save up the rest of the money and so far it's working out rather nicely. It's amazing to look back and watch it all take shape :)

    Stina, our rings look very similar too!

  • Welcome!! Your list puts mine to shame too, haha.
  • So just a little bit more about yourself.

    How old are FI's kids? Are they boys? Girls?

    Do you like wine? If so, what kind?

     

  • Thank you lplions! We managed to nail down the linen choices last night also :)

    Stina: two boys, 11 (soon to be 12) and 13, and the fur baby is 8. We have no plans for any more children though, two is plenty! 

    As for wine, neither one of us drink so I couldn't answer that without making up a story LOL. I'm terrible when it comes to liquor recognition.

    In other news my custom aisle runner arrived today I'm so psyched! :)
