I am very much behind, mostly because I work 9-6 and have a side job on some weekday nights that prevent me from meeting w/ vendors or going to bridal events.
All I've done so far is

-cut out pictures in bridal magazines of wedding gowns I like
-booked the Reception Hall
-booked the Limo
-bought my shoes (ordered 2 pairs online because I couldn't decide which to pick!)
-make an appointment with a makeup artist for Friday night and another appointment w/ 2 other make up artists who live in Queens.
-earmark a couple of STDs and invitations in magazines that I like and may order (ie I love RexCraft but their prices are over my budget!)
-read promotional materials that arrive in the mail from DJs, Photographers, etc

So really..I dont think I have done much...
