  2.  How long does it take you to get ready in the mornings?
  Anywhere from 15-30 minutes if I do the up, ready, go bit; about 45 minutes if I eat breakfast at home.
  
  3.  I noticed that things have slowed down on this board the past week or two, what have you been busy doing?
  Noticed it too.  Been busy with work mainly and now that it's warming and drying up, working outside in the yard.
  
  4.  What is the last thing you paid for in cash?
  Costco hotdog for FI
  
  5.  What vendor has proven to be the greatest value (time/money wise)? (not vendor name, just general... venue, photog, caterer, etc)

  Venue and wedding coordinator (she's very sweet but a little forgetful at times).

  Left over Happy Teriyaki (chicken and pork)
  
  10.  How many "special wedding outfits" do you have?  Bridal Shower, Bach, RD, etc.
  Haven't really started on that thought yet; will likely be in jeans and nice top for 1st shower (family) but will dress up more for one with friends.  Haven't made any plans for a Bachlorette party yet but will likely go again with jeans and cute top.  Rehearsal dinner will also be low key as will after wedding get together with family (in lieu of brunch the next day).  Now you have me thinking!
