i need to do ceremony programs too.  forgot about that.
we havent paid for our stay pre-wedding or honeymoon yet.
should get my invitation final proofs back today or monday and will post those asap. got a call from my bank's fraud protection unit (haha) today because of the number of large purchases i put on my debit card this week to pay off wedding stuff. i asked them to please put a note on my account that there will be a number of large purchases between now and august because of our wedding, and that im monitoring my account daily to make sure i know the charges that have gone through and whatever. the lady was like "wow youre really on top of things" and i said "you have no idea, you should see my TO DO list"

I booked my photographer. Bought my shoes, ordered the dresses for the nieces, shirts for the nephews and the dads/brothers. Bought FI's suit and ordered my bouquet from Angels. Not bad, really.
Now I'm just trying to find a house!
