Just wanted to pop in and say "HI" LeeNY! I haven''t seen you around much!

Wedding planning seems to be going well for you, have you started to freak out at all yet? Or are you still pretty calm?

Hey there, Elle! I have been a total drive-by PSer lately, as wedding stuff has kept me traveling to Saginaw nearly every weekend. So much fun, though!

These past couple of weeks I have sort of started to freak out - two months is not a lot of time when the holidays are mixed in there, too! But overall it''s just been fun and exciting.

How are YOU? Thought of you on 10/10 while I was in A2 - hope your day was lovely. I actually stalked Melissa''s blog yesterday looking for pics!! Hope I didn''t miss a thread on your big day! Much love to you, fellow southeast Michigander!

Glad you''re having a good time planning!

Yes, 2 months to go, plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years... yikes! From your list it seems like you''re pretty on top of things! If I can give any advice, get as much done as quickly as possible as you can. Those last minute details that sneak up on you really caused stress for me. Eeeep! I''m so excited for you! Two months will fly by!

I''m good! Thanks for thinking of me!

Melissa said 6-8 weeks for pics, and its been almost three.

So I''m still 3-5 weeks out for pics. Hopefully we''ll get a blog post early, then our entire session later like we did with our e-pics. Just seeing ANY of the pictures would make me happy. I know they''re great, so I''m not worried, but man do I want to see them! She took some pretty fun pictures when we took a break from the reception to walk down main street. We got a few pics in an art gallery just north of Conor O''Neils on Main... I think those are going to be so pretty!

Hopefully that Fat Tire/Beer/MI/OH GTG comes to fruition and we can chat some more!

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

There's some great info in here! I'm really getting into the meat of all my work, so here we go... (bear in mind my total planning period started about 2 months ago, when we finally booked a venue, so my timeline is greatly condensed from the normal, haha...)

Wow... what a jumbled up list I have! It's so funny to me to compare the various things we've all gotten done first and things we've got left to do. I know that I DO love seeing on all these lists the boleros/jackets/furs/wraps!!
