BIG CHECK(S)!!!!! FINALLY!!

Hello everyone! I hope your plans are all going well and that everyone's been having a great summer! I'm just so excited to share that my fiance and I have finally locked in our venue!!! We signed the contract about two weeks ago so we're all set! And this past week a photographer I had called before gave us a great price for our wedding. So grateful for the good news and we're hoping more blessings come our way throughout the process. So all in all we have:

- Venue (Ceremony & Reception)
- Honeymoon (Cruise to the Caribbean! )
- Photographer (not official yet, but in the works)
- Videographer (FREE - a friend of my FI)
- Makeup (Friend of my sister)
- Hair (Cousin who's a hairdresser)

I'll be looking for gowns next week so hopefully I'll find one! Looking for DJ/MC and I think we'll be done with the big stuff after that and the dresses are taken care of. FI wants to find his tux a month before the wedding but I said no way so 2 - 3 mos before, the guys should be taken care of. Just glad things are finally coming together! How is everyone else making out so far? :)

Congrats! That's a lot of checks!

Thanks everyone! I decided on Stuart Thomas Manor in Farmingdale! I've heard/seen mixed reviews about it but my fiance and I went there and got a great deal with lots of extras thrown in! I think the place is very nice and the management they are under now are so sweet and very accommodating. :)

Nice! That place is literally around the corner from where FH lives. We always wondered what it was like inside! Glad to hear!

Yayy!!! Although, this makes me nauseous because your wedding is a month after mine and I have about half of these done lol

LOL!!! I was just as nauseous as you before! Hahaha! Thank GOD for family and friends/acquaintances that are so loving and willing to help out. We would never have gotten any of these things done had it not been for them. And did I mention that my sister's friend is our wedding planner, free of charge??? Soooo thankful!!! Somehow things always end up coming together at the right time so you'll be just fine! :)
