September 2009 Brides!

I told someone for the first time today that my wedding is NEXT month! It was so far away but now it's the coming month! That's so crazy!

Violet -I hope your FH is doing better! Talk about scary.... congrats on the new job though!

It is so crazy how close we are getting... I'm taking time off tomorrow and friday to get a whole ton of stuff wrapped up! Yay!!!!

I've got hyper-shivery things goin' on I'm so excited! And my ticker is making me even more excited!

Hi Allisa!

We're date twins! We are getting so close!!! Do you still have a lot to do? Luckily for us, most of the major stuff is now done but we're still working out the little details and such. We are getting hectic trying to coordinate and plan our AHR which we decided to have before the wedding to take advantage of the summer and the outdoors. Hopefully it doesn't rain! Anyways, best wishes to you!

Hey Grace! France sounds like a lovely place to get married! We are still working out the little details, and I am super behind on my logo, the welcome brochure and I haven't started the programs, menus or table/seating tags yet. I probably should have sent something to our guests about the activities before now... but I was hoping they would have all visited the site. Even my MOH hasn't been to it!

Oh well!

I am waiting for my dress to arrive and that is my biggest stress. Everything else will ultimately work itself out I'm sure!

We leave on the 5th of September... it's coming up!

We have put our AHR on hold. This ended up being a tough year -as it has for a lot of people- financially, so I have had to re-think the AHR. I'll start planning it once we are home. Kind of prolongs this whole adventure!

September 2009 bride checking in! Too bad I didn't find this thread earlier!

Progress: I am still working on the OOT bags and my fiance needs to figure out what he is getting his groomsmen.I need to figure out what I am doing about video for the wedding. At this point, I am pretty sure I just want to buy a video camera, but we need to get on it so we can figure out how to use it before wedding time!

Other than that, I just need to figure out how I'm going to fit everything into suitcases!

We leave September 8th, 2009 so its less than a month away. So crazy!

I am getting married 9/18/09 at the Riu Ocho Rios! Just had my first dress fitting last Saturday! And a bridal shower yesterday! Still have little odds and ends to do... OOT bags, place cards, etc.... I am starting to get really excited!!! Hope the weather agrees!

How about us September brides start putting up our to-do lists. It might help some of us other girls remember some things we have to do! Here's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Make flower girl basket (I refuse to pay $20+ for that thing.)

Finish OOT bags

Make hair/make-up appointment (I'm a professional make-up artist so I may just do that myself.)

Buy BM gifts

Engrage FI's band (No idea what I want it to say yet.)

Reserve time for Meet & Greet

Get flower girl dress altered

Book photographer's plane ticket

Make intinerary for guests

Finish compliling arrival dates/times

Make programs (once I decide on the ceremony order and working, that'll be a lot easier!)

Order bouts and ties for groomsmen

Make/Order guestbook

Ok so this list is longer than I thought! Maybe I should get off here and do some work!

• Finish welcome book
• Finish shampoos for OOT bags (we are bottling our own with our labels...John cleaned out a bunch of trial size bottles for me, but now I need to fill& label)
• Finalize ceremony script
• Find sand ceremony supplies
• Final dress fitting
• Find accessories
• Make sure shoes work!
• Finish coordinating OOT bags--I have everything I believe, but trying to figure out how I will pack it
• Find some clothes for the trip! I have no shorts!
• Finish petal cones (most are done, but the glue dots aren't holding, need to use something stronger
• Finalize music (meeting singer tonight)
• Learn how to create a playlist in itunes-haha, no time to try!

I'm getting married September 18 and I leave September 11. I am so excited. I'm keeping the wedding very simple, so I don't have a lot to do. Here's what I have to do:

welcome letter to guests (not even sure what I'm doing at all)

guestbook (something different and fun)

make donation in lieu of wedding favor, make cards for table settings

buy accessories (jewelry)

buy wedding day makeup

figure out which hair style I want

a few more outfits

deposit for La Barcaza boat

I think that's it!

Good luck and congrats to all of you ladies!
