Can someone check my checklist?

OK, so I tried to make a master checklist for myself of everything that needs to be done. If someone (or a few someones!) could read this over and tell me if you think I have everything covered, if I need to do anything earlier, if I need to do anything later, if I forgot ANYTHING, etc. etc. etc.
I would appreciate it SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Just a few details: We aren't going on a honeymoon until the summer after since I'll be starting my PhD, so we aren't even planning that until after the wedding.

The wedding is on November 13, 2010. I have everything listed under which date I want to have those tasks accomplished by.

Also, we are having it in Connecticut. I don't know if Connecticut vendors fill up as fast, as Long Island is a rather fast placed land.

TIA

Thanks for theknot suggestion =D

The only rhing I can see is I think Feb is too soon to do a makeup trial.

What happens if the person who does it is not there on the wedding day 8 months later?

But this is a GREAT list!

Thanks!

I'm doing my own makeup, I just want to do my own trials well in advance, or else I would've changed that =)

most girls on here do it a year before and book make up that far in advance. Thats because these make up artists book far in advance, 2010 girls have already started booking.

What do you mean not there? do you mean at a salon? well a lot of girls, i would say a majority hire a wedding make up artist to come to their home and hire them and sign a contract with them specifically.
