Time has flown by and we are now about 6 months away from the wedding. That's a short 180 days, and a good time to review our progress with planning.
At this point, we have booked the ceremony (including officiant) and reception venues (including caterer), the photographer, the florist and the day-of-coordinator. My dress is safely waiting for me at the bridal salon. We've decided on the wedding party, guest favours, ceremony and reception decor, makeup artist, chair covers, bridal party attire and wedding bands. We completed our Save the Dates and mandatory pre-marital counselling. We're researching transportation, DJ and bakers. And we're slowly building our registry.
In the next couple of months we'll need to book transportation and a DJ, decide on a cake, purchase bridal party attire, plan our stationery, choose music for the ceremony and reception, book hair and makeup appointments, select gifts for the bridal party, purchase my shoes and jewellery and plan our honeymoon. Wow this is making me hyperventilate a little bit!
