    The very first thing I did was buy a lace scarf when I was in cuba, second was the dress, third was the venue.

    Venue!  We booked the park around the corner from our apartment. I'm amazed that it was open - usually there is a 2 year waiting list!

    We booked our venue.  October is a popular month to get married and I really wanted to be sure we could get the date that we wanted.

    We started looking at venues first, but the first thing I got done was buying my dress. Later that same afternoon, we officially booked our venue.

    Reception venue- I didn't want anyone else to grab our date! Then church, dress, photograpger, dj. Unfortunately, there was craziness with the church and we had to re-work that situation, but I'm really happy with where we're getting married now.

    Booked our church.  We then went for a reception venue and ended up having to move the date back a day (to Friday), but it worked out OK because we had reserved the church on Friday for our rehearsal.

    We decided to get married in my smaller hometown (we live in the Twin Cities but I am from SD) and since we wanted a short engagement (7 months!) we had to find a date that worked for the church and one of the few reception places in town.  So, our date was set first by booking the church and venue.  I so glad we found something that worked for us before the winter months!
    My BM are my 3 OOT sisters so they came to visit right after I got engaged and we got my dress and their dresses right away.  That was just last March and it seems so long ago!

    We first determined that we wanted a small wedding, kinda picked a date (May 12, 2012) but that fell thru cuz we waited til January 2012 to start planning and everyone told me I would have a hard time planning on short notice. We booked the venue a week after I ordered my dress (just went to look but then I found my dress) in January. Next was the photographer, then the caterer (both in February). Then it was the cake in July, Officiant in August, MUA in September, and then I just need to make the appt with the Hair Salon for my wedding (They only make appts 2 weeks out).

    We were engaged over a year before we started planning, but once we started, the Venue was our first priority, then photographer.

    Same. Then the photographer and dress within two months of being engaged.

    We booked the venue like 2 days later because around here you have to plan about a year out and we were only 10 months away.

    We looked at about 5 different venues and got the dates that they were available.  We knew which church we wanted to get married at, and when we met with the priest there were only a couple dates available for this time of year.  (We wanted to get married in the fall, and since we only got engaged in February of this year, a lot of dates were already taken.)  Luckily one of the dates available at the church matched a date available at one of our top 2 venues!  So, we booked the church first, and the venue second.  The third thing I did was buy my dress.
