My WC told me that we don't start doing that stuff until like 1 or 2 months until the wedding. I am freaking out now!

 

Things that i have done.

Do you think i should contact my WC and see if i should be doing anything??/

 

thanks girls

[rodent]

Your to do list is just about the same as mind. I don't know much about the actual wedding day. I think my WC will contact me 3 weeks before. I've emailed her little questions every so often, but mostly I haven't talked to her about the ceremony. Everything I know about it I learned from brides who were married there before.

 

I think you are right on track.

[rodent]

Here is my 3 months to go update. I realied I should have just titled this "June brides" because the title gets out of date within a month.

 

I'm surprised how many things I've repeated (guestbook, hairflower, booking photographer). I know if I planned again from the beginning I could do everything better, but it's cool that my stuff improves the more I learn. Planning the wedding has been a great learning experience.
