I'm meeting with an Officiant this evening. His name is reverend Gustaferi. I found him off of a website called a Beautiful Affair of the Heart.
His fee is $450.00 which I find to be incredible! I'll keep you ladies posted for those who still needs an officiant!!!

we called them too....just went with a judge instead!

Gosh should I list it all or just tell you that I JUST ordered my dress and am putting in for the brides maid dresses this week.

Ha ha! Procrastination is the best!

Well, since July 4th is a big vacation day/weekend, I'd send them out sooner than later. If I booked the 4th, I'd have RSVP by the end of May-June 1st the latest, BUT send them out early April to prevent people from booking trips.

Hey ladies........have any of you called to confirm things with vendors you booked a while ago? I bookked ALL my major vendors before August of 07 and don't know if I'd seem nuts if I called.

I'm going to make a payment at my hall in two weeks, but I know that is set in stone. As far as flowers, dresses, limo, photo/video....should we? lol

Hey, we're date twins! I have been emailing actually! I just emailed my photographer and was going to email the band just to 'ask a question.' I might email the florist too! I haven't heard a word about my dress since the day I ordered it, so I thought about calling the store to check on it.

That is so sweet of you! I wish there was an entire July 08 chatboard, haha. It's nice to chat with people who are on similar timelines. The major things I'm working on right now are limo's and hair/makeup. Has anyone else not had a trial yet? I feel like I'm behind on this.

I've had my trial booked for months, just wanted it to be later than sooner. I basically know what I want and how it will look since I've had similar updos before. I booked my hair and makeup the week after we were engaged! I knew who I wanted for the many reasons and the choice was made before the trial. I'm going late February for my trial....that's booked.

I booked limos right away too.....just to get it done...those are easy though!

Are you going with Jenn and Oksana? I'm curious who I should not contact for trials if they will already be booked day of wedding?

I am definitely feeling the anxiety now since Sat (the 6th month mark) EEEEEKKKK

Yup, sorry. Jenn and Oksana are mine on the 12th. I booked them before the one year mark, fearful that they would book up. Ask some of the other girls getting married the same day as us who they booked, to make your job easier.

Re: Hello July Brides

i guess i should start looking at hair places....i'm so torn on what to do! i love the 1/2 up look but i get hot when i dance and i hope the curl holds!

I think we are going to order our wedding bands in March.

We are thinking of doing the same. Mine has to be custom made and can take 6-8 weeks at least...so, I figure if we order them the middle of March, the latest it will be ready is the middle of May. That's plenty of time!
