I have my dress and guest list but that's about it! We got engaged right at the end of february and our wedding's in the first part of september.
I'm in the same boat! We got engaged on March 31st and are getting married Sept 12. I'm also planning from out of state. All we have left is to find a baker and I am working to finalize things with the makeup chick.
@SeptBride26: that's awesome! Where are you getting married? So exciting. I'm crossing my fingers for a fabulous weather day!! :)

Hello, September Bees!
I realized that four months from today (September 18th), I'll be a Mrs! Makes me want to squeal with excitement!
I'm also a bit anxious. We were engaged at the end of March, so at that time we had 5.5 months to plan. Now we're at four months and I was wondering where all of you were, so I can guage my progress.
So, tell me - how's it coming?
