Dont listen to FH about the p/v...lolol
Book them now so you can lock in your date at the 2010 rate! You dont have to give them a lump sum for deposit, just pay the minimum deposit they require to book them. FH is probably over whelmed with the money to book the RH -so its understandable. Pretty much everything else can wait till next year. Focus this year on paying off the RH-thats what i plan to do....

Congrats again sweetie!

great advice!!

girl, book your vendors as soon as you can.. with at least $1,500 -$2,500, you can probably book ALL your vendors now (photo, video, florist, dj, doc).. and secure your dates with them esp the ones that are in high demand.. i plan on doing this in March ( with that tax refund .. holla.. lol)
