    With 59 days to go, what's left on your to-do list?  I thought it would be cool to check in and see where everyone's at.

    Here's my list -

    Ceremony

    • decide on processional/recessional music for the harpist
    • pick readers & readings
    • finalize/tweak ceremony wording
    • get/make ring pillow

    Reception

    • select cocktail hour food
    • pick wine offerings
    • make table numbers
    • make menus
    • make seating chart (I'll probably do a big chart rather than individual cards)
    • pick 1st dance song and parent dance songs
    • take a couple of dance lessons?
    • finalize dinner ipod playlist
    • get parents' wedding pictures to display at reception?

    Other

    • order thank you notes
    • buy FI's suit
    • my dress fittings (it already basically fits, so this should be no big deal)
    • get bra to wear with my wedding dress
    • make hair/makeup trial and day-of appointments
    • take e-pics (scheduled for late aug)
    • write a card to give FI on the day of

    I'm feeling pretty good - things are coming together!  After mid-aug I should have my final guest count which will let me get started on a lot of other details.

    Going to discuss the ceremony details with the pastor today hopefuly get that all squared away.

    FINALLY, all my groomsmen got fitted so thats done.

    My girls STILL havent picked up their dresses even tho it arrived 2 weeks ago (I really have no idea why they are making this soo difficult for me and personally I'm tired of holding their hands in all this b/c its no longer abt them)

    Going to have my hair and make up trial next week.

    RSVP deadline is next week

    Need to make sure we pay all the vendors in the next 2 weeks

    My dress is all ready and I'm set to pick it up the day before my wedding.

    Ugh, flower girl dress wont be here until 2 weeks before the wedding ---hoping that goes well.

    Favors are ready to be assembled and programs need to be deisgned and lord knows what else im missing but at least all the other major stuff has been taken care of :)
