CHECKS!!! (PIP)

I finally have some checks to report :)

- booked caterer (so excited about this one!!!)
- booked videographer
- booked officiant (thanks to my dad on this one :)  The offciant will be our former pastor and he has also agreed to do our wedding counseling as well. We'll have to figure out how this will work, since he lives in Columbus which is over 2 hours away from Atlanta. My mom suggested we do it over the phone, but I don't know about that)
- ordered STDs...they should come in sometime this week and will be mailed out by the end of April
- BM dress selected (I initially selected a cocktail length dress, but I think this one fits the wedding better) It's a little pricey at $199 from Pearl' place, but none of the girls seem to mind. I told them they can wear whatver silver shoes they already own, so no additional expense there. I've told them to order by the end of April.


- our e-pics are done and we received the dvd with our pics --- they turned out great!
- Wedding website is done - check us out at www.helenandediru.com

To-do's (hope to have these done by the end of the month or April at the latest)
- book pastry chef for wedding cake and grooms cake
- book make-up and hairstylist
- We're meeting with the manager at our venue this wednesday (she's our forist and DOC as well) to see initial options for centerpieces and bouquets, so we can set a budget for that. 
- book DJ 
- book honeymoon

    Thanks ladies :)

    @ Tyboyd - I don't know and don't think I even want to know lol. When I initially started looking online, I saw the dress for $141 on some website and was so excited!!! One on my BMs thought it was too good to be true, so she called PP and they had them for $199. Upon further investigation, the website that had them for $141 only sells replicas - they don't order from the designer. I think by this time all the girls already fell in love with the dress
