Planning = The Hard Part!

I am happy with the progress of my planning.  While Todd is gone on weekends I have been trying to get the budget together and research vendors.  My first task was getting the venue selected and secured - completed!  I then had really no clue where to go from there.  I have been using TheKnot.com to help me.  I found on there a budget estimator which allows me to keep track of what I have spent and what is left.  I will say my budget numbers they gave me to spend on each item amazed me.  They are really low.  I am not the traditional type.  There may be some things that are a little different in our wedding, but still the wedding of my dreams.

So far I have found a DJ or possibly a band, the venue (comes with caterer), photographer, and the florist.  I also know what my decorations will be and colors!  I hope when people come to our wedding they will think the colors I choose reminds them of me!  Poor Todd, he could care less about the colors.  I know which dress I am wearing, just have to go and order it.

The main things left that come to mind is choosing the bridesmaids dresses,  finding a bakery for the cake, get a preacher, file for marriage license, get gifts for bridal party, plan rehearsal dinner, and what else?  I am sure something will come up I forgot!

Now...I just need to go and find that money tree Todd claims we have growing in the back yard!
