    We pretty much have most everything done that can be done...except for booking a DJ and getting a cake. We are having a small cake for cutting and then doing cupcakes and doughnuts (per FH request) for our dessert. Congratulations to all of you. So exciting, also glad we can see where other brides are in their planning stages.

    Date Twin!!!! Congrats on the upcoming nupituals. I feel weird as I might be in the minority of grooms that are on here. But I have had a hand in getting things together for the wedding. Had to prod my FW to get a wedding party together at the one year mark. I am getting measurements done for my suit this weekend and paying off the reception venue. So that is wedding ceremony and reception venue paid for. Got relatives who are helping with the food and cake. Also got a friend who owes a flower shop that wants to do the boutonnieres, bouquet and centerpieces as their wedding gift. Then I got a photographer and my pastor is the officiant. My fmil said she has a family friend who can be the DJ. I can believe in nine months I am getting married. This engagement has gone by way too fast!!!

    Hello! So far I have booked: Dj, caterer, photographer, videographer, decorations. I just found my dress last weekend. I'm starting to take bridesmaids to go dress shopping. I'm thinking I'll do Sam's club for bakery and dessert items. I have a block of rooms. I did engagement photos and save the dates came in the mail. Have the wedding colors and I have chosen a theme. Working on details for makeup and Hair for day of the wedding. I don't have a day of coordinator. Does anyone have any good suggestions??also need a tent and chair rental company. That's all I can think of as of right now!!

    Here's what I've done!

    -Venue booked
    -DJ w/ photo booth booked
    - photographer booked - need to schedule engagement photos
    -videographer booked
    -DOC booked
    -Florist booked
    -make-up/hair booked - doing my trial run for engagement photos
    -Save the dates sent
    -wedding website made
    - VRBO for wedding weekend booked
    -found/bought my dress and veil
    -decided on BM colors and dresses
    -caterer booked - need to schedule first tasting
    -secured hotel blocks for guests
    -scouted out restaurants for rehearsal dinner

    Next big thing on my list besides engagement photos is scheduling a walk through of the venue with my vendors.
    We will probably also start to look at wedding bands and suits for groomsmen and my fiance.

    I feel like we've done a good amount and I'm not really feeling much stress. I'm sure as the months go on and all the little details have to start getting done it will be a little more overwhelming.
