Since no one bothered to tell us wedding planning was so arduous, we are knee deep in it with only one way out- onwards and upwards!
Things on the agenda for the next year of planning:
Sign the Hall Rental Agreement
Finish RCIA Classes, so that we are officially considered Catholics
Begin and Finish Pre Canna Classes, so we are officially deemed fit to marry in a Catholic Church.
Pick out bridesmaids 2 & 3's dresses
Finish the Guest List
Make the Save The Dates (and mail them for that matter!)
Buy all the Decor piece by piece from Arts and Crafts stores (using weekly coupons too, mind you!)
Make a Logarithm related to the number of people coming multiplied by the amount of food per person, multiplied again by the cost of each dish, then find the tangent of the amount of alcohol needed
Buy the products determined by the extensive logarithm
Figure out if, after everything, we can afford wedding rings!
And then all that's left is to get married! That shouldn't be too bad!
I probably should have started with what we have already accomplished:
I found the dress at Elegant Touch Bridal in Perry Hall. Thank you to Gerri and everyone there for helping me with my dress, The Juniors and MOH dresses, and my mom's dress. You Rock!
We found the tuxedos at Horton's House in Highlandtown. My dad thinks he is wearing a "Pimp Hat." We shall see, but be prepared for other stellar costumes for the guys!
We are (almost) all set to sign the contract for the big hall at the VFW, Post 6506. Thanks to Connie, Jesse, Pam, Mark, and my entire VFW and Auxiliary Family for helping to make this as pain free as possible.
I am working on rates for local hotels for those of you out of town, but they aren't posting them for next November yet. Stay tuned, and let me know if you would like me to look into a specific chain, or an area outside of the immediate vicinity of the VFW Hall.
Keep checking in, more info to come!
