Check List

Well, nothing too terribly exciting has occurred as of late with wedding planning, but I didn't want to start neglecting the blog this early in the game, so here's what's gotten done (or at least started) thus far...

  • Set the budget
  • Set a date
  • Booked the venue/reception site
  • Scheduled engagement photos (thanks Dad! :))
  • Designed our "save-the-dates" (they're so super cute, lemme tell ya :))
  • Started our guest list, cut the guest list, added back to it again, and then p u s h e d it aside (seriously, who likes to do this?! not this  girl!)
  • Asked 2 of my 3 girls - - someone needs to return a phone call... 
  • Semi-nailed down wedding colors
  • Decided to not have uniform bridesmaid dresses/shoes/ or hair
  • Found bridesmaids' gifts (sorta)
  • Planned the reception menu (now I just gotta find the darn caterer...)
  • Picked ceremony music
  • Picked important reception music (garter toss, bouquet toss, first dance, etc.)
  • Continuously adding to reception music list
  • Decided to not have a DJ/Band
  • Reserved our officiant (thanks Mike! :))
  • Registered for Forever4Real (attend a workshop and you receive $45 discount for Oklahoma marriage license - - suhweet!)
  • Registered for my first bridal show
  • Browsed wedding dresses online with MJ (just to get an idea of what he "envisions", don't worry, the final product will be TOP-SECRET)
  • Looked at wedding bands for MJ
  • Looked at honeymoon locations, again, and again, and again, and a..g..a..i..n... (we're still looking :P)
  • Started a diet/exercise routine
  • Looked into a wedding planner...
  • Wondered why we're not eloping time and time again. (kidding...but seriously. no kidding...really though...haha, errr...:::sigh::: it'll be worth it in the end (i hope))
So, there you have it - - really, now that I look at it all there together I feel pretty accomplished! :D 
Way to go Me!!!
Always,
C Faith~
