Wedding Planning

lathrielBy popular demand, here is the dress I will be wearing on The Big Day: http://tinyurl.com/yhwfnpt I highly recommend using the zoom feature to check out the gorgeous details on the bodice!
Note however that I am not a model, and thus the dress looks better on me because i actually have curves ;D
Also, a "real" engagement ring has been ordered and is on it's way. Jared insisted that he get me something nicer than a plastic vending machine ring that rusts. I'm hoping he'll do a second proposal, somewhere odd, like Lowes or the meat section at the grocery store, lol.
I put down a down payment for the photographer! (punambean.com) We talked today, and she sounds so nice! Jared and I are going to take a mini vacation in June to NYC to do an engagement photoshoot and have dinner with Punam so that we can all get to know each other. From what I've seen she's a real artist, and it will be fun working with her I think. However, my Dad had a mini heart attack when he heard what her fee is and began questioning my efforts. No one seems to acknowledge the fact that I've been researching these things since October when Jared and I first said we were planning on getting married. Also, as an artist myself, my eye is much more critical than many people's, and I am more than willing to skimp in some areas of the budget if it means that 50 years from now we're going to have an amazing photo album from our wedding (who's going to remember what the favors were, or how good the DJ was? :p). Also important to note: my mother initially approved of the cost, and my father has a tendency to be cheap.
Anyway, tonight my mission is to type up a list of everything that needs to be done, in the order in which it needs to be done, and then I'm going to email it to my mother, father, Jared, and Sarah my maid of honor. I need to delegate. First I will ask for volunteers, however.
OK off to have a glass of wine. Maybe I will actually sleep tonight!
