The Countdown Continues – 3 Months!

This week’s regularly scheduled program has been interrupted to bring you this W-Day special news bulletin:

WE’RE AT THREE MONTHS PEOPLE!

You may recall the lengthy list of to dos we had for this month.  Having just reviewed it myself, I’d say we did pretty well.  No wonder I feel like we’ve been doing so much recently!

What we did this month:

• The Boy turned 30 this month – we happily celebrated our last year, and his last birthday as a singleton
• We had a bunch of conversations with our Priest and in the end decided to change churches.  I now feel much happier avoiding confrontation altogether, but did have an odd experience of cancelling something for the wedding – not something I would like to do more of (the person on the other end of the phone was so worried and sad for me).
• We ordered beautiful dresses for all the maids of awesome.  A miracle dress that somehow looks amazing on everyone.
• We solved the great tux vs. suit debate with an awesome deal and AMAZING suits for all
• I created and ordered invitations.  They’ve arrived.  They’re beautiful.  But you don’t get to see them until they’ve been received by their intended recipients.  For now I’ll give you this tease.

• We picked the Readings for our ceremony.
• We bought everything for the bathroom baskets
• We’ve almost picked all of the music for our ceremony
• We picked a location for our rehearsal dinner but won’t have a date until our Priest can check the new church’s schedule
• Still collecting ideas for centrepieces – and will likely do our warehouse tour in another few weeks
• The Boy called Steamwhistle (his favourite beer) and booked a delivery of kegs

• I got W-Day shoes and the Boy’s W-Day tie!
• Booked my hair trial
• We had our engagement pictures done last weekend, we haven’t seen them yet – so I’ll post once I’ve got evidence of how beautiful they are.  But another sneak peak they involved this beauty:

It’s getting down to details time so here’s what we still need to do:

• Mail the invitations
• Set rehearsal date, book restaurant and invite the peeps
• I’d like as many things done as early as possible which means printing the rest of the stationary items
• Hotel welcome bags
• Make a wine decision
• Another party! Hooray!
• Finalize rentals and choose appetizers
• Shop for wedding bands
• I think I should be able to visit my dress soon!
• Start thinking about thinking about day-of and week-before timelines
• Under the dress shopping
• Shop for W-party thank you gifts
• Order ties for groomsmen
• Finalize ceremony music
• DJ Play and Do Not Playlists

I think there’s more I want done this month… but this is inducing enough panic for one day.

92 Days to go!
