Where to start?

Hi ladies! I'm a newbie...

FH & I got engaged in Jan and we've kind of been taking it easy until now... We think it's time to start planning for the big day... We're not set on a date yet but we'd like it to be Sept of '08...

Where did you ladies start with your planning? We're thinking of going 'shopping' for the reception hall first to secure a date.. then booking the church... then taking it from there...

**Kinda clueless - never done this before**

Thanks!
