Re: late oct. early nov. brides!

Scary isnt the word!!!!! I am frieking out! Thats all the things I have left plus meeting with the florist again, meeting with all vendors again. choosing menus, buying gifts, wrapping stuff up, and the girls dresses didint come in yet! I am frieking out! Now I am losing it! Oh yeah...tuxes and a veil would be nice too!

Re: late oct. early nov. brides!

oh funny...i have everything left to do that is on YOUR list also!!!

Re: late oct. early nov. brides!

I am sure I will think of other stuff as well,...like buying shoes...thats always a good thing to have!! My goodness!

Re: late oct. early nov. brides!

I guess we are all on track. I have almost all the same things left on my list. I did finish my pre-cana in March (got that done early) and I got my church documents.

My major project right now is the invites and shuttle bus. I am doing the invites as we speak(should be done real soon) and FI is working with shuttle bus companies.

I have my first fitting next week...can't wait. I picked up my veil and headpiece last week. I bought shoes a couple weeks ago...will just need to get them dyed.

I can add I have to pick out my wedding ring to match my e-ring. I am deciding between two styles. My FI and I already picked our matching bands..so we are almost there.

Oh, I have to go for a hair and makeup trial. I booked the salon for my hair but haven't gone for a trial yet!

After that, lots of little things like planning meetings (florist, hall, church,etc.), odds and end like table cameras, placecards, picking the music and out song, prepare for honeymoon, etc.

It is coming soon! I am sure I will keep thinking of more things.
