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!
