    I too am getting married 8/25/12! :)

    My dress is here! as well as my shoes (3 pairs) and a back-up short dress for the reception.

    We have our photog and venue booked.

    DJ, cake, caterer and rental companies are picked out but finalized yet.

    Bridesmaid dress options are picked out and we're shopping for them after the luncheon in February.

    My fiance and I have several DIY aspects ready to go or in-progress, but still lots to do.

    I'm so excited, the planning and preparations are so much fun! I'm just a little worried August is going to creep up faster than we know it.

    As for my other 'dones'- Venue booked, caterer booked (and she makes cakes), photog booked, my BM's have picked out and bought their dresses and shoes, I have shoes, DJ booked, Save the dates done (some have already been sent out, the rest will be sent sometime in January), I have a florist and a good idea of centerpices and other venue decor.  

    Still to do- I still haven't booked an officiant (I am talking with a girl my aunt knows but we are having troubles setting up a time to meet), a million and one DIY projects!, book honeymoon, register.

    DATE TWINS YYYAAAAAYYYY

     

    @SeattleKimmy: YES...before we know it August will be here it just seems as if the days are going by SOOOOOO Fast. You have accomplished alot....3 Pair of SHOES...wow...I'm a shoe whore myself so I UNDERSTAND!!!

    @auggiefrog: You have accomplished alot as well. 

     

    Both of you ladies make me feel like I am trailing behind because I have yet to order my dress...the shop that I am ordering from told me it would be in my best interest if I order no later than mid February.....its time for me to stop procastinating!!!

    Getting married 8 months from Christmas :)

     

    I have:

    Said Yes to the Dress; ordered on Black Friday for a 15% discount
    Booked and paid deposits for: ceremony site, ceremony chairs, reception venue, ceremony musicians, dj, caterer, cake, transportation, and photographer.
    Sent out our Save the Date/Christmas cards and finished our wedding website.

    I've been stocking up on blue ball jars for centerpieces and getting photos together to display at the reception.

    I have ideas for what I want for the bridesmaids, flower girls, and the guys, but plan on shopping with the girls late January/early February.

    I have lots of ideas for DIY projects but haven't started any yet. And I'm slowly working on invitation concepts/designs. Need to get all of my accessories and shoes yet. Need to register. I'm sure there is more!!
