wow, you might get a great last minute deal

do you have any ideas where you would want to go?

OK creating the list just for my own sanity:

*meet with florist
*pay second and 3rd (last) payment to RH
*stuff invites/mail (stuffing today)
*final payments to band, officiant, photographer, my dress, florist, videographer...etc.
*shower (next weekend)!
*Donate $ for favors, create scroll thingy
*tasting at RH
*create programs
*Decide on ceremony readings
*all last minute stuff (Seating chart...etc)
*Finish BM, FG, RB, GM gifts

I am sure there's more....but I think I am in OKAY shape.

Picked Rehearsal dinner place

have DOJ

how did you get your hoodie for free? where i want free $hit too!

---

Well I should clarify, I bought hoodie on sale at Victoria Secret. It's from the Pink Collection, real cute...I bought that for $20. Then I went to Roosevelt field to have my fh last name and baseball number on the front. So I wanted his baseball number on the sleeve and he ended up putting it on the front which is where I wanted the last name. So he put the last name above the number and when i came back the sweater had a very small snag...it got stuck while stiching, so I got it for free...he didn't charge me anything...HA

I'm going with Fresh Face Forward for both hair and makeup

Don't have limos, but I contacted Camelot in looking for a partybus and they were GREAT and very honest with me.

I'm using the house florist at Fox Hollow, don't think that he does non-Scotto Brothers events. But I checked out Burtons and I really liked them. I've read some problems with them on the day in the review section, but I think that's more of an issue with the busy season.

You'll be fine. Don't stress too much and you'll get it all done and maybe some great deals since if they are available they are looking for business. Good luck.
