Okay my weddig folks . the clock is most definately ticking away. The time is nearing for alot of things to start happening at once: The final deposits on certain vendors is coming due, I have to order the linens, make final decisions and start addressing invites. My school sememser is over, so that is one less thing on my plate between now and the wedding. My hours are still crazy for work since Christmas time is Jewelry season . . but Tom and I have agreed to make the front toom (normally called the Holdiay Room) our Wedding Central - right after the holidays. Then the REAL madness beginss.
These are the things I can remember off the top of my head that need to be done, but I am sure there are things I am forgetting or don't even know need to be considered. . .
I still have one bridesmaid that has not picked out her dress, but we are hoping to remedy that in the next couple of weeks with a trip to Orlando on one of my rare days off. Several girls have already ordered their dresses and the others are supposed to being doing that soon (like this week) if they haven't already. Since we picked out our invitations last year (and got them on sale), we just need to figure the wording, decide on an actual time for the ceremony and finalzie the gues list. Then we have to figure out seating arrangments :) And! we still need to figure out who is officiating . .that's a big one.
I am stil deciding on how to incorporate some minor details, I need to speak with my coordinator about some decor she said we could borrow, and I may need to hire a dry cleaner to de-wrinkle my linens after I order them.
Tom is still deciding on what wedding ring to get, it seems now there is a decision between one of three for him to make, I need to order HIS wedding present, and I need to make sure Stephanie (here locally) can make the alterations to my dress. We have alot of music decisions to make as well as figuring out the day of coordinations. I've spoken briefly with the girl I would like to do my hair and the hair of my bridesmaids, and will be going for a trial run sometime prior to the big day. Oh! and the cake, we sitll have final decisions to make on the cake.
So you can see, there is plent for me to do. This is the calm before the storm, but come January 1st, it's full blown Wedding Madnes! For now, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
