Hi Megan

You still need to let me know about that wedding you went too, and did you get the pictures i sent you???

Ok we are about the same pace with planning.
I am going to look at florists when i come home in 3 weeks, because my mother is killing me with the 'I am not your age, I don't know what you are talking about'

I sent my STD's out back in May bc i have a lot of OOT guests and it is a holiday weekend so i wanted to make sure people didn't plan trips

I think your pretty up to speed

We have booked:

RH, Photog, DJ, Limo, Photobooth, Church, Bought my dress, almost ready to make final decision on BM dresses, sent out STDs in mid-September, booked pre-cana for early November, made final decision on DOJ and shoes, purchased invite kit from Michael's, purchased glass jars for candy buffet.

We still need to book our florist and coach buses and then get down to the other incidentals. I actually wrote out a list the other day (a whopping two pages) of smaller things I need to do/get.
