    No, Gerbera:  *high five*

    I definitely do a lot of browsing while at work ::shhhh:: and basically any free time I have after work.  Early on, every weekend was reserved for venue/dress/vendor hunting.  I'm glad to say that I'm currently at a lull and very proud of my accomplishments!

    Same thing here... doing all my research and stuff at work (shhh!) and then I delegated a lot of it.  My mom's been great with doing all the legwork since a lot of my vendors you have to meet during business hours, and there's just no way I could do that (she doesn't work, so she has the time..).  Otherwise there's definitely no way!

    Hahaha, gerbera- you're not supposed to tell anyone!  :)

    She's right though.  Even if I wasn't able to do some stuff during work, I'm pretty confident that I could still pull it off.  I have always had to do stuff like visiting vendors, signing contracts, or looking at whatever, on the weekends.

    Teehee. Well as long as I'm still getting my work done. :P

    It's been VEWWY slow at work lately.
    Want to know the sad part? I still get more work done and faster than most of my colleagues.

    What everyone else said. And for me, I booked a venue with a comprehensive package, met with only one DJ, florist, and photographer, and make sure not to stress about the details.

    I've done a lot of browsing, organizing and purchasing at work.. I have been fortunate that work is sort of slow.. giving me the opportunity to do so.

    It was hard planning and working. My wedding was also held two hours away so that made vendor meetings an issue. I did browing and phone calls from work. Etsy shopping on my lunch hour. My mom was not much help in the planning.

    Coffee! Haha. I work and go to school full-time. So I tend to take advantage of class time and when I'm on campus in between classes. When I'm working I can rarely get online.

    LOL most of my planning is definitely getting done while im working! I've visited venues during work hours, called vendors, researched all of it. Between work and school thats the only way i will get anything done.

    Yup, thanks for the props, but I'm def going insane.  It's hard when there are deadlines the week of your wedding!  Like me.  And at this point, I really don't want to do them, I am so over work right now.  I would rather be browsing the boards like I am now.  I need my occasional breaks, at least that's what I'm telling myself :)
