Here's where we are from my May 4th post. Wow, a month has gone by... (blue is this month's updates)
-Contact and get the clutches made, sooooo I may have to make these myself. My bank needs more info in order to wire them money (to EUROPE!!) and the people aren't making it easy on me. One of Craig's friend's from work has a mom who works wonders with fabric.. So I'm thinking of going with her now. Do I really need to spend $30 extra to get her the money when she responds with "??" when I ask what US corresponding bank to go through (that's provided by their bank, not my own). Anyway, I'll see her this weekend and she can see if she can pull it off!! :D
-Get my dress fitted [schedule it first!!], no progress on either.. need to schedule it, but I cant get it fitted until August.. I've tried contacting her 2 times by phone, and 1 time by email... nothing back yet. I need to book my tickets for July... I just realized I needed more than 1 fitting. (I'm an idiot)
-Find out if there's a free premarital counseling place... I actually am reading some books! I started Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. I reserved copies of the following at the library:
-The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage,
-The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work,
-The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands,
-10 Stupid Things Couples Do To Mess Up Their Relationships,
-Rich Dad, Poor Dad (for Teens)
-aaand, because I want to be a stay at home mom, I'm reading: In Praise of Stay-At-Home Moms
-Rehearsal Dinner, I'm trying to think of how to do this... I know where... but... I dunno... I'll talk to the WBC ladies and see what they think I should do before we're at 60ish days
-Day After Brunch, no progress
-Invitations [doing myself, so it's a big project], got the main invitation formatted! need to get the Directions, Guest Information, and a 3rd paper for something... and an RSVP + envelope for the "old peep" who don't know how to use the Internet ;)-) I should probably do this over the weekend... it's getting to be about that time to send them. Or at least start putting them together.
-Bridal Shower [good thing I'm not dealing with that, but I still worry!!!], yay! my aunt/mom/sister are starting work on it :D
-Marriage License, cant do it before 30 days before :(
-Menu, changing a little bit :( I don't think C would like to do the Pu Pu Platter since it's more than we were thinking.. so we have to choose our favorite 2 for the included appetizers. boooooooo
-Buy C's ring, still need to go to the store to find a no diamond ring he'll like... probably not for another couple weeks
-Bridesmaid accessories, silver jewelry and a golden/brownish/buffed copper shoes? maybe? don't care about the style
-Bride accessories, still need undergarments, jewelry(?), maybe just earrings.. but that's it.--I'm going to need it sooner than I thought. When we go for the rings, we'll go for the undergarments... Can C know what it looks like before? or is that tabooed too?
-Figure out what b/c I need to go on, OHHHH... ... birth control.. silly me :D. Yeah, that's still a work in progress, can't do hormonal ones so the only options are low hormone pills, depo, patch, & IUD (5 years)... thinking about IUD b/c I hate the others. Made an appointment with the OBGYN! It's not until the 17th though. I'm nervous.
-Gifts for awesome helpers, ... any suggestions?
-Special Songs play list, no extra progress. I did ask 1 dad! I'll see if I can ask the other. I was just waiting if my dad would be comfortable with the dancing before asking the other.
-Find something to get rid of awesome acne [though, I don't expect anything to work, like always], I should make an appointment at the skin doc... because my face hates me. my method before wasn't working... so I'm going to try Proactiv again. (I ordered it... 29.95)
-Out of Town Guest bags [which will be, like, everyone], got some candy for it!!! :D And my mom got some sanitizers. yay!
-Ceremony Programs, oh yeah... well I have the general format from the invites at least!
-Keep Track of RSVPs, still not possible
-Get my guest-book made [you'll see what I mean], I'm thinking about switching to a different guest-book maker... I really like theirs... I feel bad though :(.
-Get a picture on canvas [another, you'll see what I mean], DONE!! Just need it framed now!
-Get official "change your name" documents, ummm I wish I knew what to do there.
-Find Something new, blue, and borrowed... I have something old. Does it count if I wont' be wearing it until the end of the ceremony?, still don't know if the "something old" at the end of the ceremony works... what to do about NEW, BLUE, & BORROWED?????
-Make a timeline for people who have to be somewhere at a certain time, still not done.. I'll wait until the coordinator's is more finalized before copying it.
-Figure out if we want to do a receiving line or visit tables..., no progress...I think C wanted to do one of those.. but I can't remember which. We're thinking of doing the receiving line... Though it means we'll be taking pictures before the wedding... which I'm actually okay with!
-Carmel apple centerpieces--can't do until the week before anyway. I am thinking about trying it though... I wish I had test dummies! But there are no kids I know of around here. anyone have kids?
-Make a card box holder thing... It'll probably be one of those picture holder/shoe box things. But one I can personalize. Not sure how yet. :( apples? paint? markers? paper? I'll go to Michael's again sometime this week and check it out! I have COUPONS!!!
That's BW (Before Wedding)... AW (After Wedding) I have to:
-Get on C's insurance, can't yet..though it might prove to be more difficult b/c I may have "pre-existing conditions".
-Change my name... on everything... can't
-Cry [I'll need it], haven't done yet!! (phew!)
-Send out announcements to family & friends, I haven't even thought of how I should send it...
-Get our new license [We've been holding off because I didn't want to pay twice for a new license],still nothing.
-Apply for scholarships to go back to school, still need to do the FAFSA one for them
I'm doing pretty good! 93 days!! :D eeek!
