I figured we could start an official august thread and see what are we up to. I also want to know if I have a date twin.
me, nothing yet because I don't have money yet but most likely will start booking stuff hopefully at the end of this year, that's is if I find a job before then.

So post away.

I'm tania and my husband is Will. we are renewing our vows and having the wedding we never had since we got married on city hall and had no money then. I guess things never change.

Congrats on getting a lot of stuff done! Also, since you are the same date as myself when do you plan on sending out the invitations?

Im sending them out at the end of June.. (Around the 25th)

That is when I was thinking myself. I am glad to see I am not totally clueless in this planning stuff.

just an FYI for August hotel blocks.

I just spoke with the Hilton Garden Inn (Islip) they told me the discounted rate for August is $139. The group rate is honored up until the day of the event.

You guys really put me to shame. So far we have the church and hall...and have signed up for pre-cana. We are signing the DJ contract today, but I don't have anything else done...not even my dress!

Hey Date Twin.. We are just early birds.. But now its crunch time. So start dress shopping and booking. Atleast you have the two major components for a party - Music and the venue!!

Well don't feel bad, I am in the same boat. I am still looking for my dress. Been to two stores and still cant make up mind. Hopefully the end of next week the dresses will be done. But I would start looking. I hear it takes longer for a bride's dress than the bridesmaids.

Good luck

Oh boy...I've been to a bunch of stores and can't pick out a dress. It's all so frustrating. Good luck with YOUR search!
