So....DP...between last night and today, you wanna know what I've done???
-wrote my vows!
-decided on songs for processional, recessional, our dance, dollar dance, the song they'll play when they introduce us...
-made a list of flowers I will need
-called the florist
-called the DJ
-called the photographer
-called the cake lady
-called the minister
-made resrvations for the rehearsal dinner

hahahahaha

Carried away??? Me?????

Mostly I got answering machines...and the minister is on vacation until this weekend...but at least the first calls are made...My fiance joked with me that I'm going to have everything done by halloween and then I'll have to just sit and wait for a year! i said ohhhh no, there is PLENTY to do to keep me busy!

I just want to get all the big things decided on, so we know how much $$ we're going to be looking at...ya know?

I think for our honeymoon (which we haven't discussed at all yet) I'd like to either drive the coast of New England, or go up to a secluded cabin in the Adirondacks. He knows someone who has a cabin...so that would even be free!! And it's beautiful, and looks right out at Whiteface Mountain! (are ya getting the Mountain theme I've got going on here?? hahaha) So we'll see how much it'll all cost. I really hate having to pay for this all ourselves! Well, my mom is going to give us $1000, and buy my dress, and my grandma is buying our cake...but still we're looking at a nice chunk of change to come up with ourselves. How the heck do people afford to get married!?? We both have good jobs, but still! It's really crazy how much it all costs!!

Well...back to work I go!

With Love,
Autumn

wow! you ARE busy! i havent done all of that!!! So whats your wedding song? I think we've decided on "i've got the world on a string" by tony bennett

it was between that and 'ribbons in the sky' by stevie wonder, but we didnt really want a very slow song...

our dj is done, b/c my fiances best friend is a dj...hes in the wedding, so he wont be doing it, but his partner will. so thats done. our photographer is pretty much decided. i havent done a thing with flowers yet, or a limo (we're only getting one for us).

so how many guests are we all having? mine is pretty small (or so they say), we have 90. it doesnt feel so small to be, but i guess it is! the good thing is, the place we are having it is the perfect size for 85-90, so it wont feel empty. itll be full!

yes i am butting in here..sorry..i was just thinking about my wedding...
we really did have a small one and that was because of the expense...we got married in lake tahoe at a beautiful chapel, outdoors in august and we also had the wedding on a monday...one reason was because it was exactly on the one yr anniversary of our first date and also since it was a 10 hour drive away we knew only the people who really cared about us would make the effort to be there! there was about 20 altogether... it still costed us about 6000 but that included the motor home we rented for the week and the hotel rooms etc etc.... it is neat to hear all the excitement and energy going on in here!!
