2010, Oh my!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't believe it's 2010 already. We get married this year... Yikes! Only 111 days to go! My checklist still looks empty, but we are working on it.

My girlfriends were over for a holiday party a couple weeks ago and Cheyenne made me a sixteen week calendar with deadlines for accomplishing things. She'll be happy to know that so far I've been checking items off the list. It is actually extremely helpful to visualize what needs to be done. And the deadlines help too. Thanks Chey! :)  

Bridesmaid dresses... Check! It took two trips to David's Bridal in Middletown for all six girls to pick out their dresses, but they are selected and ordered:


This is from the first trip to David's Bridal on 12/23: Cheyenne, Courtney, myself, Donna, and Becky. They each picked the style they liked best from three or four options. All the dresses will be in watermelon pink, the color of Courtney's dress.


This is from the second trip to David's Bridal, a week later: My sister, Sierra, and my friend, Chelsea. Again, their dresses will be in watermelon pink. It's going to be nice to see them all together in the same color. Ah, I'm so excited for it!

Tuxedo rentals... Check! On 12/28 while all the groomsmen were in town, we went tuxedo rental shopping. First, we went to Men's Warehouse and none of us were impressed, so we headed down the street to Sossi Formal and they were excellent!

Amongst the shopping trips, Chris and I have been looking for an officiant and a photographer. I think we have found an officiant service -- Hudson Valley Ceremonies & Events. Chris is going to follow up with them this week. As for photographers, they are so expensive! I am having a hard time finding one in a decent price range.

Next up on our to-do list is to register!
