With 158 Days left...

There begins to be the wide awakening of all the things which are still left to be done for a wedding.  We are in the midst of trying to find a limo right now.  But we are also having to choose how and where do we want the Mens Tux's to come from, and exactly which colors are the men will wear.  Do we want to use Men's Warehouse or Leesburg Bridal for the Tux's?  Will the colors look good in the pictures?  

Never mind the added stress that currently it's Christmas season.  Bob and I decided that we wouldn't really spend much on Christmas this year due to paying/saving for the wedding.  It's a little odd to get into the Christmas Holiday cheer w/out getting gifts this year but I have to say, (Ssshhh don't repeat this...) It's a little pleasent too.

Our list of things already completed:
Venue, Reception site, Photographer (and the best one at that!), Engagement pictures, Have Pre-Marital classes at church, Bride purchase DRESS, pick the wedding party, Get Florist, Choose DJ (now this was a hard one b/c Bob was a former DJ so he was very opinionated, but we finally did agree on one), Meet with Pastor to have counseling sessions, Choose our cake, Create and send our Save The Dates, purchase his/her wedding bands, Choose the bridesmaids dresses, send lists to the bridal party, choose the wedding invitations and decide on the count, Plan/book/pay for Honeymoon...

What are the other items on the list still yet to be done you are asking?  Well they are choosing Invitations (we have ones we want, but the wording is what we are working on), choose the person to make our programs, choose the limo company that we want meet again with our Pastor for another counseling session, me choose my shoes, sit with Reception venue to create and go over the dinner menus along with make the dinner menus sheets, confirm design of wedding cake, get a tan, confirm dates for bridal showers, confirm with MOH for the Bachelorette party, and many other tasks. 

So far I've gotten 50 out of 120 completed, and I'd say that's not to shabby.  Especially given the stress and everyday life that I've dealt with along the way.   Just another hurdle to jump to get to the alter to marry the man that makes me strive to be a better stronger Christian woman!

Stay tuned for more information.  Have a wonderful Christmas if I don't talk to you all again soon!
