Check in time... what have all u 2004 brides been doing lately for the wedding?

I am so happy all the dresses will be done and be measured by tomorrow, and I am ordering my veil tomorrow also. We ordered the groomsmen gifts yesterday- beer mugs with there initials on them and we are going to put a gift certificate to The Outback in them, the ring bearer is getting a smaller child size mug with his name on it filled with crayons, and his mom and dad will get more money for there gift certifcate so they can all go out to dinner, and we also ordered our invitations!!!! Now it is starting to seem real! I am so excited only 263 days to go!The only thing left I have to do is to get my crinlion, pick out tuxs, get the address list ready for the calligrapher, and go for fittings. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

Well....we got his wedding band this weekend, and registered at 2 stores- we still aren't done with that. Things are beginning to come together. Now I just have to think about what to get my BM's for gifts! Most of the stuff I have to wait for....

All of the major stuff is done.
I still need to pick out favors, send out the STDs, make the cd's, and the BP gifts. But I think I have time for that.
My mom needs to find her gown...but that is about it.
Oh I still need to get my shoes...I am lost with that one

We've been busy, but haven't made many decisions other than date, church, and hall. We're looking at photographers and bands now.

Having booked the reception hall, photographer & band...I'm ordering my dress next month...have already picked out the BM dresses - they'll order them come Jan/Feb (I think 8 mos in advance is plenty enough time)...looking at FG dresses...the end of next month I'll be visiting with florists...and after that is the mad search for invitations. I haven't found ANYTHING that I like. Nothing screams out at me.

Tracy, you're lucky she knows how to do e-mail! Mine does not & is making my FI get the addresses since she can't find them!!

I have all the major stuff booked. Now I am starting on all the little things. Yesterday I bought our guest book. Today I went to Michael's and got all the stuff to make my own unity candle. I am also working on ordering the bridal party gifts. FH and I went last week and put down a deposit on my wedding band. He is so difficult and picky so we still have to look for his. Otherwise things are going smoothly and I am anticipating my wedding in 213 days.

hmmm..... made another deposit to hall, booked rooms, bought luggage for honeymoon (it was on sale!) Getting to my favors this week.....and ordered invites. Most of this was last week though.

In reality the only thing we have left is the rest of the $$ balances & ordering the groomsmen's gifts & picking our readings.

It looks like we are all getting things done!

Last week we finally took our engagement pictures -they were postponed 3 times because of the rain. So when we decide on those we will be getting our STD's ready.

Yesterday we booked our limos - Ultimate Class.

Next we need to meet with officiants and florists.
