136 days and counting....

I can't believe there are only 136 days for me to get everything done... wow.. time sure does fly by.. With my fiance's advice I finally made a checklist for things to do on microsoft excel.. its just a reminder that i have ALOT to do.. lol.. My concentration for this month is finishing up the church marriage prep stuff, finishing up our registries, and sending out all the invitations.. I hope and pray that I will be able to do all of this by the end of August.. which means in two weeks..





Also, some good news! I finally have my dress.. its hanging out in the guest room closet right now.. I have a peek at it atleast once a week :) I also have had the hardest time looking for shoes... i FINALLY found some... on zappos.. the style name is JEMMY from Chinese Laundry. I bought two pairs.. one in ivory and the other in berry because i'm contemplating whether or not I should have a pop of color with my shoes.. Since the accent colors in the wedding are hot pink and green I thought a nice pop of hot pink in the shoes would look great in person and in the wedding pictures! Here are the shoes.. They're satin with a 2.5inch heel.. just high enough that it gives me some height, but low enough that I'll stay comfortable..

So far these are the best shoes I have found that stick with my price range and have the look I was going for.. something casual but dressy that I could wear again after the wedding.. Luckily Zappos has a great return policy. Shipping is free both ways with purchases and returns so which ever pair I don't want will go straight to Zappos free of charge.. The shoes cost me $63.00 which is pretty reasonable compared the 70-100$ other wedding shoes are costing.. I even went to David's bridal the other day and alot of there shoes cost around 59-70$ and they were uncomfortable and felt very cheap..

OK. what else! I'm slowly collecting little things here and there for the wedding.. I received my disposable cameras i ordered for the reception from mywedcams.com.. I got them for $1.99 a piece which is great compared to the $3-$4 every other website was charging... I also received blank cd-r's for the wedding favors.. They werent sent with the best packaging.. luckily all of the cd's came intact.. I bought 300 cd-rs form about $50.00 from yesbuy.net...

Well that is all I can think of so far that I've been doing for the wedding... there is still so much to do so i'll try to keep you posted as i go along.. take care and wish me luck! :)
