2 Months Until I am Married… What?!<\/h2>\n

Breathe in. Breathe out.<\/em> I have about 2 months to go for this wedding, and that calm sense of relaxation that I had about 3 months ago is nowhere to be seen. It just hit me that I have a lot of things to do for this wedding still.<\/p>\n

One of the blogs I read has her wedding countdowns set up in what she had, what she had in the works, and what she needs to do still. I like that idea, and it might even make me feel like I’ve accomplished more than I have so here it goes…<\/p>\n

What I Have So Far:<\/h2>\n

Date & Venue<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Woo!<\/p>\n

DJ<\/strong> – Just booked in the last two weeks! The company was recommended to us by the venue and by a friend of my sister’s– \u00a0Grand Hemond and Associates<\/a><\/p>\n

Wedding Dress<\/strong>– David\u2019s Bridal — Getting it altered now, should be done by mid-February. It will have a slightly different neckline and hemmed\/bustled. Also, I really dislike this girl’s expression.<\/p>\n

\"Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n

Veil:<\/strong>\u00a0This one ordered off Etsy this week<\/a> after the one from Amazon was too cheap<\/a>. (It was too stiff, and looked like I was playing dress up as a bride).<\/p>\n

Engagement Photos<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>We have many! Overachievers. I also have a second session, which I haven’t\u00a0posted about yet.<\/p>\n

Caterer:<\/strong> Carrabbas’ on 4th Street<\/a>. I have talked with them, and sent them an email. I am having trouble getting a response, which is something I am currently working on.<\/p>\n

Cake:<\/strong> I will be placing an order to Publix soon. It will be a cupcake cake. My cake topper<\/a> is on its way, and the cake stand<\/a> will be ordered March 1st.<\/p>\n

Just for fun, this is a proof– It will be gold though!<\/p>\n

Photographer:<\/a><\/strong> Contemporary Captures Photography<\/a>\u00a0based out of Tampa<\/p>\n
