6/9/12- Do I have a date twin?
Are there any other knotties who are getting married 6/9/12? Have you all started planning? Even though the date is a year and some change away I feel as if I'm lagging because me and my FI have done nothing. He's in the Navy and I'm a full time doc student so this is going be hard to plan..plus we're getting married in VA and live in IL!! Only thing we've set so far is our budget, picked colors, and we know we want a beach wedding...I feel so behind

I try to get things done in certain time frames and its working so far... but balancing my already lacking focus on school with fun wedding things is difficult.
[QUOTE]I'm not your date twin BUT I'm also a full time PhD student =) I think I've seen you on the students board. I try to get things done in certain time frames and its working so far... but balancing my already lacking focus on school with fun wedding things is difficult.

Biochemistry. What about you?
Two girls in my lab got married this summer, it was wedding central. Its died down now, which is nice. Only now I get a lot of unsolicited advice.

Gotta love people. Getting advice is great when you need it, and can be somewhat useful even when you don't ask for it, but my opinion is that unless I ask, don't offer!
I have done tons.. but I just think its cuz I'm a little ahead than what I am suppose to be.
My theme/colors=peacock feathers. Focusing on the teal and purple with lime green and silver accent colors... (In my head it looks really ugly but in person it is breathtaking!)
Budget set
Bridal party-set but not asked.
Venue, photographer and catering signed. paying deposits with venue and catering. This is by far the best part of planning early! Since the wedding is "so far away" (I hate those words..) we don't have to pay the entire deposit at once. All my vendors have broken up our deposit into monthly payments. We have 3 months to pay our venue deposit. Our caterer just told us as long as you send $$ every month and have it paid off within a year of the contract we are good! Our photographer was biweekly payments.
Invites and STDs-researched just not yet ordered..lol
Dress-I have chosen my top three gowns within my budget so hopefully I look amazing in them. My top choice designer is Alfred Angelo. My bm dresses are from there too.
Ummm... I think that's it.. My MOH lives in another country (Puerto Rico) so when she comes over to FL she complains she is not going to have anything to do!
[QUOTE]Date twin here! Although I'm doing my masters with the (very high) hopes of entering a DVM program by next fall(THIS ONE PLEASETOJESUS)/fall after. We are having the wedding in Connecticut and I am currently in NC (Go Wolfpack!!). My undergrad was in Bio (should of taken that one class to minor Chem), I love Biochemistry.. heck I love all things Science. :D Don't feel behind, focus on school! The wedding will come into place, while if you don't study your grades wont. Of course the wedding planning is a nice distraction from studying for school (or writing term papers!!! :-( ) I've got my venue booked, and the church. I don't have an actual budget set, but I know that I can't fly off the handle. For colors.. we might have our colors picked, but I don't know I am extremely indecisive and easily persuaded. I also want to be semi-original. My bridal party is.. well.. non-existant.. I did ask my matron of honor and have 3 definite's for brides maids but all the rest is up in the air. If you want to talk my message box is open.. or I can just yap and yap on here. :D
