Check!

Ok so I can check a FEW things off the list!! :)

#4 Check!
#15 Check!

Oh, oh....I thought I checked more than that off!

Well, I have a few ideas on centerpieces, cake topper and we have talked to a paster, just waiting to hear back from him! We're hopefully doing engagment pictures next weekend...and my appointment with the cake lady got rescheduled. But we have picked the date for the bridal/bachelorrette party (Aug. 7th)...now just to come up with the guest lists.

Feel free to email me you address at tarakay2@yahoo.com!

Too many "TO DOs" before "I DO" !

4 months from today, and I'm starting to panic a little bit!

I have been on this computer for the last hour, hour and a half googling "wedding gifts for bridesmaids, wedding centerpiece ideas, wedding jewelry, wedding flowers". If it has "WEDDING" in front of it, believe me I HAVE GOOGLED IT! And the worst of it is, the more I look the harder it is and the more behind I feel. I need to keep reminding myself of the "for sure things". The things that I am 100% about so that I have a little confidence in my planning skills. I tend to second guess everything, and so I have changed my mind about too many things. (I have probably collectivly planned 3 different wedding in the last year in a half!)

Ok so here's some "FOR SURE THINGS"

1.) Brad (whew, right!)
2.) Location
3.) Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
4.) Rings
5.) Dress
6.) Color of the wedding
7.) Photographer
8.) Date (I guess this counts too, huh?)
9.) Who's doing the cake
10.) Who's doing the flowers

Doesn't look too bad, huh? Until I remember it's FOUR MONTHS AWAY and my "TO DO LIST" looks like this!:

1.) Pastor
2.) DJ
3.) Centerpieces
4.) Bridesmaid Dresses
5.) Tux
6.) Bouquets
7.) Cake
8.) Gifts for bridesmaids/groomsmen
9.) Dinner menu
10.) Chair covers??
11.) Rent chairs for outside
12.) Engagement pictures
13.) Invites
14.) Set up Group Block
15.) Make hair appointments
16.) Plan Grooms dinner
17.) etc, etc, etc!!

If you have any suggestions I would be more than happy to hear them! :) Wish me luck!
