Here we go ladies...lets start our own thread and keep each other sane with this crazy planning. All I have done so far is booked my hall, church, make-up and hair, I am ready to book the photographer (I will be using DUET) and I am ready to hunt down a DJ...what about you girls? Oh and I also know what florist I will be using.

I'm walking to the church too, but it's my choice ! My poor BMs want to strangle me!! We of course plan on having limos to take the entire party from my house to the wedding, from the wedding to the reception, home from the reception, etc. but at the moment I want to walk the one block from my house to our church!

That sounds reasonable to me. Just make sure those shoes are made for walking!

Re: Official September 06 Thread
Some things are slowly getting accomplished for me. RSVP's are still steadily coming in....see my avatar for the current numbers.
Based on my last list, this is what's left:
send out thank you's for shower (1/2 are done) wrap the BP gifts (maids are done-ushers not yet) marriage license (august to do list) DIY programs (designed..not printed or assembled) music selections have meeting with vendors and make final payments start tanning at salon buy garter (found it!) buy unity candle buy stockings for wedding day (no idea where to look) order monogrammed hanky (found it!) buy FH's wedding gift (cufflinks) buy lingerie for HM ( i didnt get any at my shower)
lose weight....actually that is on my 'forever' to do list.
What do your lists look like ladies? Usually when I look at someone else's list, I am reminded of stuff I forgot about!

Re: Official September 06 Thread
I would go find your dress now unless you are planning on buying off the rack. I ordered my dress the beginning of June and it's coming in end of August/1st week of Sept.
