Re: July Brides...
Yeah, I finally remember my question.
Are ya'll wearing sandals or closed toe shoes? I want to wear sandals but I don't want to wear pantyhose. For those who are wearing sandals are you going to wear pantyhose?

Re: July Brides...
I started planning late (in January), but I think I'm doing fairly well considering. It helps that our wedding reception will be small (only about 50-60 people).
That said, we still have to:
*Decide upon music *Purchase bands *Get a tiara for me *Buy my shoes *Do our registry *Send our invitations *Meet with our minister to discuss additions/changes to the service he proposed *Meet with our reception contact and choose our cake/meals *Purchase favors *Gifts for our bridal party *Plan our honeymoon (FG is in charge of this one) *Get FGs tux & groomsmen clothing
So, still a lot to do. It will get done though.
