We have entered the 12-month zone. You know, where all the wedding mags and sites say you MUST begin serious preparation. Eaka freaka. Anyway, the hotel's got us down (pending the DP) but the church has yet to get on board, date-wise. I say we just get married without 'em but that would leave Scott marrying a corpse because my mom would kill me. Hehe.

So.

There are a thousand other things I should be thinking of but of course now I want to think about my dress. I scraped all the salt off my argument for the one(s) I love, and now it's time to shop again. Of course there are also bridesmaid dresses to consider. I love quirky and color - I want them in a valentiney stagger - but that might be met with some opposition. Not from them, but from Mr. Those Shoes Don't Match That Outfit.

Just kidding, honey.

Already budgeting out the 20th's paycheck. I em sed. We haven't even begun saving - I'm struggling just to clear my CC balances and meet my monthly mortgage payment. We have the Hilton deposit and the church deposit to reckon with, and then it should be quiet until we start putting big ticket items on our credit cards - bridal party attire, stationery, flowers, etc.
