I kept putting this off and i was afraid i was going to be screwed but thank god I wasn't. I am going to use christine of exquisite affairs, so excited about that because heard only great things about her .
was supposed to go yesterday to buy our wedding bands, but we had two birthday parties and thought we'd have time in between but we didn't. So fh said we'll go beginning of this week. Maybe tomorrow or tuesday.
I also cant wait for invites to come in soon, and then have to tackle shoes, veil, headpiece and favors within the next 2 weeks when i start first fittings. This way once all this is done i only have the small details left such as menu's, programs, table numbers and things like that.
Hope the rest of my may brides are doing well.

Thanks denise - its the whole APARTMENT thing - we found one we really like for 1200, and its on the great south bay - but its only 700-750 sq feet. We saw another thats 1200 and its just under 900 sq feet and FH hates the layout - but it makes me feel like im living in the downstairs of a home - ah stress - we cant decide!
oh i know exactly what you mean. We have been going to look at place after place after place. Its funny because FH will keep saying after each place that he still loves the first one. I think we're going to end up making an offer on that one. We wanted 2 bedrooms and the 1st place is 1 bedroom but it has amazing space so unless we find something better, it'll be that one. It is hard though, its like theres always something wrong lol.
YES!!! or im feeling pressured bc it might be gone you kno?
I like this one apartment - but its smaller - I dont know why - and then I jsut want to go back again - its a big decision - and then they want paystubs! I feel like a fool - i have a savings to cover it - but eh-
for us its just been a mess. For example we saw a few apartments that are all brand new inside but smaller, then very big apartments but need alot of work. Theres just always something. Can you put it all under your fh's name?

oh ok, well are you going to rent or buy? if its a co-op theyre the ones who can be more difficult. If you're renting or buying a condo then it wont be as hard

i know its hard to think about those you leave behind. Well if you don't like it, its not something that has to be permanent. Just think of it that way, you can look for something else if after a while it doesnt work out.

Thanks denise - im just worried about moving and then my commute goes from 20 mintues to 45 minutes in the most assinine directions - getting up at 515 instead of 545 picking somewhere thats more expensive and smaller over the other place -

Re: Hired a DOC FINALLY
Congrats!!! I am in the same boat. I had my first fitting but I havent found the right shoes yet, so she wouldnt touch the hem. So my second fitting is the 29th, and I need to buy a bra and shoes, then I need a veil. Once those are done (definitely by the 29th) I can tackle the programs, menus, place cards. etc.
We are getting close!!!

Oooo great to know that i can wait for the shoes until the 2nd fitting. I think i know what shoes i am going to get, they've always been in the back of my mind as one of my choices but i think im gonna stop driving myself crazy and get those. The worst part is that my dad was going to buy them for me for my e-party but i said no, what was i thinking i said it didnt go with my e-party dress and fh said what about the wedding and i said i have time for that.
good luck
