7 MONTHS!!!

A week ago today marked 7 months until our big day - WOW!  That seems crazy to me.  It is definitely going to fly by.  And as crazy as the wedding planning is making me feel...I secretly enjoy it. :)  To keep you all up to date (and to make myself feel more productive) I'll fill you in on our progress...

• We've had our venue, photographer, and band for quite some time now (those were important to us!)
• We now have our caterer booked - the sample tasting will probably be John's favorite part of this whole process :)
• We have a florist - who I love, even though I don't know much about flowers
• We have FINALLY asked all of the people in our wedding party to be a part of our big day!
• All parts to the Save-the-Dates have been picked, ordered, and sent to our guests (probably the biggest weight off of my shoulders right now).  I'm SUPER excited about these - I was trying to do something a little different, and I think I succeeded?
• Our wedding website (which is DEFINITELY a work in progress) is up and has most of the important info
• We've made hotel blocks for our guests (if only the football schedule would come out so the rates will be finalized :( )
• We have our Rehearsal Dinner venue - It's got the exact feel we are going for and I think it will work out perfectly!

See, now I feel a lot better!  And don't ask about the dress - NO, i have NOT picked it yet! No.big.deal. (At least that's what I keep saying).  We've made great progress, but there's sooo much more to do in the coming months - pick bridesmaids dresses, figure out what the guys will wear, pick invitations, etc.  It will be so fun to start to pick all of the little details that go into the BIG day!  All of this planning has made me think I should go into the wedding planning business (when we move to Charlottesville) - sigh, it's ok to dream :)
