Booked my photographer today. It was way more emotional than I expected. She has a great personality, which totally helped. Only big things left are DoC, florist and baker. I'm interviewing a DoC next weekend. It's getting closer.

I'm not sure who originally said this, but I'm sure I learned it on WW. Whoever it was said to go to your local University for a videographer to save money. Well...I took that advice to heart, and I found out the local U has a video school. I also...

So, this is sort of a spin off from KristinMichelle's post about everyone matching to a "t". My mother asked me about what she should wear to the wedding, and I was completely stymied. It honestly never occurred to me. That being said, I am now going...

SO, I never bitch about finances. I'm the breadwinner in the house. I make over 3x what FH makes. I pay ALL the bills, and I'm footing the bill for the entire wedding. Tonight, he comes home and starts talking about how his friends at work are saying...

OMG. My officiant emailed me last week, and because she was asking me for information I didn't have, I didn't email her back. I'm waiting on tax returns to book the ceremony also, and the photographer, whom I've also left hanging. Am I the only idiot...

Seriously. What is so wrong with borrowing a few bucks to have your dream wedding vs. having a sort of dream wedding. I'm borrowing money to have mine, and I'm not apologizing for it and I will gladly pay it back. Borrowing money to pay for your...

So, I want to make my own centerpieces with real flowers, so that requires doing it myself, with some help, the day before. I was thinking of inviting my sisters, mother and other women in my family to help out and have lunch at my house. Is this too...

Wedding dress shopping with me. Wow! I'm super excited. He's my best friend. I'm a little sorry that it won't be a surprise, but we're going on Sunday anyway. Who knows? Maybe I'll buy something secret later, but I love the fact that he's coming with...

And the fees are astronomical. Even the priest was apologetic and said she thought it was too much. I agree. It's hard to become a parishioner (which would cost less) because it's over 20 miles from home, but it's close to the venue. ARGGGH! That...

I am now officially a member of the 5 STAR club. Yay!

I was looking for a wedding planner, so I contacted an acquaintance of mine who does event planning for a living. I asked if she knew of anyone who could help me with some DOC type work and she said she would personally help me (I offered to pay -...
