Actually Getting Into This Wedding Stuff

So, It has been forever since I have updated what we've been up to with wedding planning. That whole buying a house thing kind of put a damper on my wedding planning. We have officially been engaged for an ENTIRE YEAR! I can't even believe it. I have gotten so much done in the last few weeks it's amazing:
- Invitations - I did them ALL by myself with word art and text boxes - they are not at all traditional but I am totally in love with them
- I FINALLY bought my wedding dress. After being engaged for a year and 3 days I finally broke down and actually bought a dress. My dress is wonderful. I would love to post a picture but I don't want Michael to somehow magically get on here and see it! :] Now I patiently wait for 4-5 months for it to come!!
- Cake Taste Testing - We met with Maribel from Maribel's Dream Cakes - she is the most adorable little lady!! She did our friends Mikey and Kristin's wedding cake and also our friends Michael and Vanessa's cake for their wedding! We decided on a Banana Cake and a Marble Cake, DELICIOUS!
- Caterer - we went and had breakfast at our Caterer's restaurant and went over food and budgets and stuff
- Florist - been emailing with a couple florists to get quotes on our bouquets and unfortunately breaking Michael's heart about not getting boutonnieres.
- Shoes - I found the shoes for the bridesmaids! I now just need to figure out what I am going to do for my shoes...
- Bridesmaid Dress Shopping - Coming up on February 18th!! I can't wait. I'm so excited!!!

Wedding Wedding Wedding.. 192 days until my Wedding!
