My Mood:
What I've done... (in order)
Picked Wedding rings... (actually tried them on and got quoted long before the engagement ring was bought!)
Chosen the EASY bridesmaids, groomsmen... still haven't decided whether we want more...
Looked online for a dress, -
Decided on a theme. (red and asian)
Decided on CHURCH wedding (based on religious beliefs)
JOINED BEYOND THE BRIDE!!!
Organised engagement party - Kinda helps you with your guest list!
Created a database with everyone's names and addresses in it and how their related to the wedding. Made a secondary database for supplier information of stuff that I've seen and liked
Start keeping a journal/scrapbook for ideas
Started looking at venues for WEDDING, RECEPTION, PHOTOS! based on location, cost, and guest list size...
GO TO AN EXPO IF YOU CAN!!!!


What I want to do next
BUDGET - I'll have 10-15000 for the wedding when the time rolls around. I have 5000 saved now. My parents are contributing (I won't say how much) and FH is contributing and his parents will too. Figures from his side of the family haven't come in yet. My dress is NOT included in this budget as I am buying myself FOR myself.
Go to the venues we like so far... Check them out then book them!!! (DECIDE A FREAKING DATE!!!) We're still 18months to 2years out from when we'd like to get hitched so we need to do it soon.
Book Fr Peter (Family friend and old parish priest) and meet with him - Organise the "marriage" councilling that the catholic church put on.
Send out SAVE THE DATE cards/magnets...
Go and try on my dress... Order it as most places take 3months to 6months to make it (Unless I get pregnant or injured... I won't be changing shape much now I hope)
Get MOH in britain to decide on a dress. Get pictures and take other bridesmaids to get fitted here.
Get the names of my MOH's classmates (who are professional photographers) and get them to show us what they have... Book it...
Convince FH that "Even though he already owns a suit that you'll hire or BUY him one for the day so he matches in with the theme..." HELP!!!!!
Flower shopping...
Talk to hairdresser NOW about hair styles for wedding... Do I need to grow my hair?
Decide on bonbonairre, Invites,
Decide on Cake.... Although I think my Auntie and I may be the ones decorating it...
Organise transport for Bridesmaids and groomsmen... (we're using FH's Dad's Car although it's a bit stupid though if we get the venues we want... I'd rather WALK from the church to the gardens and then to the reception... It's not far... Maybe 800m???)
Organise readers, ushers, drivers(?)
help organise accomodation for family coming in from out of town...
MUSIC



Still have no idea what I'm doing though...
