Sounds like you got it all down! You are a very well prepared bride!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, there us just so much to do! Since I didn't do the whole big wedding thing I'm always curious as to how I would have handled all of this stuff! I have a suspicion I would have had a major meltdown or two and then probably run away and gotten married in Aruba anyways!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting so much done, it sounds like you got a lot of the harder stuff out of the way already!
