This months check list of things to do has come in and while we have already checked a few off.. The list is big

1. Begin envisioning your wedding style and wedding colors -- formal, eggplant-and-gold hotel reception? Or a modern, black-and-white loft? Colorful, tented, backyard barbecue celebration? Or exotic, orange-and-yellow beach wedding? - UMMM Purple.. Maybe..

2. Decide on a wedding budget and hash out who's contributing to the wedding. The Knot Hint: For a quick and easy way to determine your budget, use The Knot Wedding Budget Tool. - We really need to nail down a budget this month

3. Begin interviewing wedding coordinators (if you'll have one) -- look online and ask family and friends for local wedding coordinator recommendations. - N/A

4. Brides: It's never too early to begin thinking about your wedding dress. Start by figuring out what wedding dress style will look best on you. - CHECK first dress testing set for the 9th of April

5. Start taking better care of yourself. Get in wedding day shape by eating right, joining a gym, and/or even hiring a personal trainer. - Check, signed up with WW and working out regularly

6. Hire a wedding coordinator (if you're having one) and sign the wedding coordinator contract. - N/A

7. Interview wedding caterers look online for wedding caterers in your area and ask recently married friends for recommendations. - Haven't even started looking. YIKES


In other news, I spoke with a recently married swede and she mentioned how expensive it is to have a wedding. But gave me tips on places that would help us budget wise.

Weddings! Happy Go lucky balls of stress!

We picked our rings up last Thursday, mine fit perfectly, but Olov's was a little snug...

Turns out his hands were swollen. Whew.

Wedding stuff has stalled a little, we have to book the church and we have to book it ASAP..


AHH Olov... Churches!!! It has to be done!
