Exactly 60 days from today I will be saying "I DO" to my soulmate!!!! I had my first dress fitting last Saturday and fell in love with my dress all over again! Can't wait for the alterations to be complete - corset back, sleeves and the bustle - April 11th is my final fitting. Been receiving RSVP's...

Exactly 60 days from today I will be saying "I DO" to my soulmate!!!! I had my first dress fitting last Saturday and fell in love with my dress all over again! Can't wait for the alterations to be complete - corset back, sleeves and the bustle - April 11th is my final fitting. Been receiving RSVP's in the mail and had my first RSVP where they actually changed the number on the line where it states how many seats we are reserving for you.....thought that was pretty hilarious! Never thought that would happen to me. We only have a couple of DIY projects left to do, but they are pretty easy breezy. I have my first bridal hair trial appointment this Weds. The wedding really is going to be here before I know it! So excited!

How are you all doing????

    I don't have much left to do! Just pay off final balances and fine tune everything. I still have to get dress alterations but it only needs a bustle and a small halter neck adjustment. Just ordered invites yesterday and bought all the alcohol. Its getting so close that I feel kind of overwhelmed with all the small stuff now. Time has gone by so fast!

    May 10th cant get here soon enough. Mailed out my set of invitations, FMIL hand delivering hers, and FH hand delivering his tomorrow. Need them to be all outta my hair no later than the end of next week. I forgot to change my RSVP date when i ordered them n it stayed as May 3rd so whoever hasn't rsvp'd by then i will be doing a final call on the 5th..... need to confirm dinner choice, finalize cake flavor, dress alterations, need to order party favors, bm gifts, flower girl shoes, alcohol.... oh n my make up trial setting it up for next week, engagement session next week as well. I think thats about it, oh n wedding bands still need to get. Darn seems like quite a bit still.

    Still looking for a videographer but have not found one we can afford :0(. Still need to make final payments on DJ, photobooth and limo. RSVPs are coming back in. I'm off next week so going to meet with the DJ and the venue, get my teeth whitened, work on the ceremony and also go get our marriage license!!! Hoping to also have all of the BM gifts completed and shoes jewelry picked out. Also have to finish making the cake topper and work on seating. Finish up timeline and figure out rides! Oh, and HAVE to find a sugar starfish that is approximately 12# across. There is way more than I initially thought :0(

    May 24th here! Invitations have started hitting mailboxes and have gotten a positive response which makes it all worth it. Just some little things to finish up but I am feeling great! I go for my hair and makeup trial April 5 and will go try on my dress that day. Then I have my first dress fitting April 6th! It is so exciting, but at the same time I don't want it all to be over!

    Hey all, May 4 over here! I'm doing my timeline now with the DOC and **still** waiting for my dress to arrive. Replies are coming in daily (very few declines - FH is worried our space is too small) and finalizing details. We put a deadline of April 22 on our replies -- kind of dumb to only allow two weeks to track peeps down but whatever.

    We are both at the "Can't wait until it is OVER" stage. Seriously.

    May 25th also Smiley smile

    I have my second dress fitting on April 2nd. We've been getting some RSVPs back, all yes by the way. Everything is booked, just needs to be paid off. We have an appointment with our venue next month to go over all of the details and finalize the menu.

    Aside from that, we have some small DIY stuff to do but nothing major. I am getting so excited!

    May 24th here! I actually have my first fitting tonight and am currently working on addressing invites. They'll be done this week. Other than that I have some detail stuff to do and I need to finish centerpieces. It's coming together! I'm surprisingly calm, too.

    May 17 checking in. Had my 2nd dress fitting last Saturday. I will be picking up my dress next month on the 9th--cant' wait. Sent invites weeks ago and the rsvp are rolling in. I did have someone change the numbering on the rsvp and like you said I thought that was hilarious. No matter what there will always be someone who wants to make their own rules!

    Anyway still working on a few little things...details, details. But, the main focus is on paying everything off.

    So exciting! I sent my invitations out yesterday and can't wait to start getting the RSVP cards back! We have pretty much everything done except the seating chart, escort cards, and welcome bags. I'm currently finishing up my DIY aisle runner, but that's about it Smiley smile I have everything packed away and ready to go - including set-up instructions (with pictures!) for my venue DOC! I had my first dress fitting and hair and makeup trial last weekend and everything looked great. I cannot believe how fast time is going!!!

    May 25th here! Oh my god reading all these comments has got me more freaked out! Honestly I can't wait for it to be over. I sent the invites yesterday. I am slightly terrified as our venue holds 144 and we have invited 165 (that includes us, wedding party etc). I am meeting with my photographer tomorrow to give her the list of photos I want. I have to send my song list to my DJ. I have to meet with my officiant to go over the ceremony. Luckily she works with me. I feel like I'm never going to be ready! Really freaking out about the time line the day of. OH AND I need to figure out who is doing my makeup without paying an arm and a leg. I feel very very very behind Smiley sad

    May 23rd! I'm finial using ideas, working on playlists, getting on my man about having the GM order their suits...busy busy. I still have odds and ends of DIY. I'll probably go frame hunting this weekend. We're doing a romantic/ garden with touches if chalkboard. Weird combo but that's what's coming together, I guess I'm just going to go with it!
