Got some more things done this week:
Mailed out my invitations today (YAY!)
Bought wedding bands on Wed.
Picked up our engagement pictures - decided not to do a sign-in board or any display of them at reception

Still a lot left to do but each week, we're getting more and more done. I just can't wait to start getting those responses back!

I've got so many appointment over then next few weeks:

Tommorow - photpgrapher
Thursday - fitting for undergarments

Next Tuesday - 1st dress fitting
Next Thursday - meeting with the priest

my head is spinning and I'm going away this weekend - another weekend of not doing anything wedding related. I think my FI is trying to stress me out. But it should be fun!!!
