Hello readers. I’ve had a pretty hectic week with school and being semi sick. I have the flu I think but with some meds I’m all good.

There are many things that we have finished and it feels super good, especially since the wedding is next summer. So I thought I would list things that I have finished and a list I must do.

Finished:
- Dress: it’s hanging up in our living room right now
- Flowers: we decided to have the bridesmaids hold regular white calla lilies and the flower girl and I will have mini pink calla lily bouquet
- Invitations: we know where we’re ordering them and all we have to do is light assembly
- Centerpieces: Floating flowers in a round bowl, gold confetti (simple but elegant)
- Officiant: our great friend at church, his daughter is our flower girl also
- BM dress: matching latte/champagne sash, pick up skirt
- Ceremony/Reception place: booked and booked. All we need to do is pay haha
- DJ: booked, just need to pay
- Bridesmaids gift: the majority is done! wheeeeeeeeeeeee

To do:
- Find a tux place
- Find a place to alter my dress. (for once it’s too big in the boobs. )
- Parents gifts
- Groomsmen gifts
- Order Invitations
- Plan groomsmen/bridesmaid get together (but that’ll be towards the wedding)

I imagine there is a lot more for the “to do” list but I have a bulk of things I need done (or figured out). I’m really excited and debating if “diet” should be on the “to do” list. But I like food way too much.

I miss you ladies and just wanted to check in with yous! Hope that your planning is going well and sorry I’ve been semi MIA…. being sick is no fun. blehhhhhh.
