Meet and Greet

So it's official. I'm hosting my very first bridesmaid meeting on the first of February.  Why, you ask? Because it's easier to just get everyone together in one place and talk about what needs to be done, than to repeat myself over the internet hundreds of times. Also, my bridesmaids are spread out between Hattiesburg and Jackson,  so there's that....

Oh, and they don't know each other..at least, not very well. Hopefully the meet and greet will help bring them together so they'll be comfortable in each others company on the wedding day.

The plan is to get up, carpool all the 'Burg ladies up to Madison to eat lunch with the Canton ladies, and hopefully have a good time. I'll drive back the same day and drop everyone off, and then do nothing, which is my favorite thing to do.

In other news, it hasn't been this cold in Mississippi since....well....it's never been this cold in Mississippi.  Except for when it was -29 in 1966, before my time. My toes are impossible to keep warm. Showers are a chore. Washing clothes is hell, since my washer and dryer are accessed from outside. Blahs.

10 Months To Go!

Well, here it is. The first day of 2014. As promised, I would get my gears in order for my wedding. Today forward, I will be doing crunch time for it.

That being said, I have a lot to do. I have to:

* Get my measurements done for my custom-made wedding dress (and decide if I want it red or black)
* Finalize the food menu
* Come up with the music
* Pay for the venue
* Schedule events for everyone (bridal shower, etc)
* Get done with the design of my invitations
* Finalize guest list

And...I WILL NOT STRESS. I REFUSE TO BE A BRIDEZILLA.

So, for general information:

We are getting married on Halloween 2014, at the most beautiful castle I've ever seen! We even get to spend our wedding night with the castle to ourselves! ^___^
The colors are red and black- and the men will be wearing kilts.
And NO, it's not a Medieval style wedding, so get it out of your head. Come on, for those who know me, do you really see me doing something from a Ren Fair? lol. It's Goth.

Luckily, Jason dropped a grand and got me a Note 2014 Edition to help me out with the planning- as much as I adore my Vaio, I can whip the Note out of my bag at a moment's notice.

Oh, and if you're wondering what to get me, I have an Amazon.com and Bed, Bath, and Beyond registry. If all else fails, gimme money.
