Wedding post

If anyone cares i decided to do a post on what we have planned so far with the wedding, the nice thing is that no one in real life has the address to this blog so it won't get out to too many people and i get so excited with things i can't keep it all to myself. If anyone wants to see my dress send me an email, austinsmomca@gmail.com and i will tell you the designer and style number, i have tried on my friends and it looks awesome on me, i look alot slimmer in it too so  i hope to lose some weight, that would be awesome, been pigging out for a few days, start my plan tomorrow with a friend. On to the wedding recap. This is as much for my benefit as well as yours.

Social:
I have the hall rented, dj booked, social tickets printed,
drink tickets bought,
half got the bar/door schedule worked out.
I am thinking about decorations now, i have a friend who has a fog machine and she will let me use it so that is awesome, because it is a halloween themed social we have to decorate more than a normal social does.
Security booked

Wedding:
ceremony is up in the air right now.
Groomsman are picked, bridesmaids are up in the air, i am not sure who i want yet, i don't want to offend people.
Hall is booked for reception, linens have a deposit, backdrop has a deposit
Photographer has a deposit.
Dj is same dj as the social
Dress is picked, just needs to be bought, tuxes will be rented in january. Bridesmaids dresses are picked, will be bought in january.
Centerpieces are completely figured out and bought, i only need a navy dye for the sand and i am set.
Arch is bought, was cheaper with a 50% off coupon then to rent. Not sure where we are putting it though, depends on where we have the ceremony (church if i can help it, parent's yard if he can't handle the church thing, funny he is the catholic one)
I think i am doing the flowers, and going with silk, they will wilt otherwise and i want something people can keep for a lifetime.
I have a start on decorations and gifts, i think i know what we are doing for the gifts and just need to do it but that won't be till next year.
I have colors and everything picked out and that won't change.
I am doing a candy buffet for the favors, and kiss for a cure for the kissing. (donations to cancer)
We are having a hamburger/hotdog/salad bbq, i have over 300 people invited and even if 300 show up i don't want to spend 10,000 on a meal, otherwise my list would be cut in half, i want everyone to celebrate with us, i don't care about gifts, i just want a big party and couldn't afford it any other way.
I have the save the date magnets done and ready to be shipped in july (early with the social information)
We have a stamp with our name & address done, Banner, lawn sign, window sign, car door magnets.
Make up & hair figured out.
I am so ready for this wedding already, if we could afford it i would be getting married this year. No changing the date now as so many things have been printed with it on it lol.
I am thinking of doing purple & blue streaks in my hair, i have always wanted too do that and i think it would be neat, i could try it before the social and see how it looks.
