Hi there, I’m a little overwhelmed. I still have so much to do. I’m taking it one day at a time:) Hopefully I’ll have everything finalized by the end of August. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

you’ll know i’ll answer!

We booked our bakery last weekend, as well as the tuxes and we picked up our wedding bands. We are in the process of booking a florist. We met with one and I’m meeting with another one this weekend. So I hope to have that booked within the next 2 weeks. After that, we have to get invitations, favors, and gifts.

Getting there!

Invitations came in! Meeting with some florists this weekend and next week. Did our e-pics last weekend.

Things are moving right along! We’ll do tuxes and wedding bands soon! I’M SO EXCITED!!!

I’m hoping life will calm down in the next few weeks so Fiance and the guys can go get the tuxes all set up. I’ll be finishing off the inviations this weekend and hopefully start collecting the butt load of stamps we need to buy… UGH (Invites, RSVP, Shower thank you’s and wedding thank you’s). I’m also waiting for the chair bows, napkins, runner and a few other things to be delivered. Bridal Shower is in 63 days! I need to start minding my own business or my Future Mother-In-Law and SIL’s are going to chop my head off lol. (I’m trying to trade adresses for hints :)… not working :()

We has a productive week, discussed the marraige contract with our attorney, went to the jewelers to order my wedding band, so, we are relaxing over the weekend- so much more to do, but 5 months is still kinda long… I keep telling myself that- I have a plan, trying not to freak out and try to do everything at once! 🙂

I’m sort of a November 2011 bride (maybe December)–but, nothing has been done, lol. Fiance proposed late last month, and wants to get married by the end of the year.. luckily we want something very small, so hopefully we can pull it off!

Bath & Body Works semi-annual sale starts today. I’m going there after work and I’m getting shower gels and candles for my BM’s for their shower gift. I am also giving them monogrammed umbrellas..i ordered them off of etsy a couple of weeks ago. Expecting them soon! My shower isn’t until September 10

@brighteyedgirl: You can pull it off! I would suggest start looking for a dress for both you and your bridesmaids (if you are having any) if you haven’t started already!

Wow….you all are so on top of everything. I’m starting to freak out a bit. Fiance says we have all the time in the world…but in reality we don’t. He keeps telling me to make a decision and when I do, he second guesses them. Plus he needs to be there making most of the choices since our money is mainly in his checking account. We just need to pick a day and get everything figured out….SOON.

I still have to find dresses for my girls, decide on an invite, pick out food with caterer, pick out a cocktail, pick out a hotel, meet with the baker and finish some outstanding DIY projects. So…yeah…so far behind…

right now it is just time for me to sit back and relax. one bridesmaid doesn’t have a dress yet, but that is something i’ll just have to trust her to get done soon. the tux rental is up next. then putting together the gifts. my Fiance family keeps honeybees so we are doing half the people get honey and the other half homemade jam from my family! everything else is done except final payments!

I’m sitting back and relaxing for the most part right now as well. The majority of the things that need to be completed can wait (but me being a perfectionist it’s a real challenge waiting!). I’m now watching my Future Mother-In-Law and FSIL’s frantically get things together for my bridal shower in August 🙂 lol.

i’m now working on ANOTHER list of things I’ve completed and haven’t completed to make sure I’ve done everything I need to do at this time… how are you all doing at this point?

144 days until November 12, 2011 brides!!! 😀

Oh, you know.. we’re just starting to put our guest list together, lol.

I’m really starting to wonder why Fiance thought we could pull this off in under 5 months! :S
