Re: Official July 2006 Thread
We have booked the hall....and we are in the works with the church. We are registering tonight, and sending out STD's next week.We are looking around at photographers, and have narrowed it down but haven't booked anyone yet. I am beginning my dress search next week.
So basically, a whole lot of NOTHING!!!

All we basically have left is making payments (not fun). Even my DIY projects are done. I actually miss the running around of meeting with vendors.

That is my motivation - all the other LIWers and how much they have done! I book in spurts - two in a week or two and then none for a month
One of my BMs is MOH in another wedding and that bride (also July 06) hasn't booked a thing - and she has been engaged since January! I keep telling my BM to get that bride in motion!

Re: Official July 2006 Thread
I've got so much to do!!I've already finished:
Booking the hall
Booking the priest (but FH still needs to book the rabbi)
Booking photo/video
Ordering my dress (still need to do my hem to hollow)
Starting our registries (Fortunoff and BBB)
I'm working on these right now:
Finding bridal shoes
Finding STD's
Completing our registries
Asking the rest of my BMs
Next up is finding a DJ, but we're taking a few weeks off before we do that. Finding the photographer nearly killed us!
After that is...well...everything else!!
