    Congrats! How are your plans? 

    I'm right behind you, but I still have a bunch of stuff to do - programmes, final dress fitting, parent gifts, etc..

    But I feel like I'm in good shape generally.

    ya same here, I am finishing up the deals for the food, location, dj, photographer, and final dress fitting.. lol it took me forever to get everything done, because the location kept changing on me. I have been planning my wedding since nov of 2008, so it has been a long time coming. so what are your wedding colors? any military themes?

    My colours are spring green and royal blue. FI is wearing his mess dress and we're having the sabre arch and all. 

    Are you taking a honeymoon?

    His parents were nice enough to give us their airline miles and Marriott Rewards points, so we are spending 5 days in Rome and 10 in Paris virtually for free. Then we'll be back in the States for 4 days before we PCS to Cairo. 

    Any ideas where you want to go for your 5 year trip? Do you have/want any kids?

    You should totally come on our honeymoon :-P

    We are having a mixed cake - each layer has five layers of cake in it, so we are alternating chocolate and vanilla cake with chocolate pudding filling and vanilla buttercream icing. It's so yummy! 

    Are you going back for another tasting?

    Wow congrats Rach, that's gorgeous!

    You guys are so close, I've still got four and a half months. I'm impatient but I'm getting really excited!

    We're almsot set on our cake. We went and visited the bakery and he gave us a sample and it was delicious. It went like this:

    Top to bottom:
    white whip cream frosting
    vanilla cake
    thin layer of raspeberry filling
    chocolate cake
    chocolate mousse
    vanilla cake
    vanilla mousse
    chocolate cake

    Or something like that, you get the idea. So we're having that for one, maybe two tiers. Doing to do three total.

    We also did our food tasting and met our chaplain.

    Our big things to do are assembling center pieces and favors. Getting FIs blues, he should be an officer by the wedding. We also need to get all that paper work done and it's a mess right now.

    Also addressing and sending invites and doing my fittings and stuff. Plus we need to pick out the guys tuxs. We have two civilian groomsmen. But those are the only HUGE things I can think of.

    FIs military stuff is the biggest priority right now.
