Update!

So... I picked out my dress!!!

It was actually the second one I tried on. I tried some more on after and every one did not compare. It is super comfortable, girly, and totally me. I can't go into too much detail for fear Markus will stumble upon it. It's from Spybaby bridal though and I got it half off since it was the floor sample and the dress was discontinued. Yippy for saving money! I would have paid full price if I had to.

We are still looking for a caterer. We ate at Glen Loch to see if we'd consider them. I wasn't too impressed with the buffet. Next weekend we set up a tasting with Premier Catering though. Someone from work said they were good. They've done a lot of events at Emerson too. They're not badly priced. I realize food and drinks are going to be our biggest expense.

The search for a photographer is getting quite frustrating. I almost got scammed by one. Eek! A lot that I have contacted are already booked or are crazy expensive. I understand photography is not something you want to skimp on, but come on! I'm waiting to here back from Alter Image Studios. A girl I used to work with had them for her wedding.

I keep going back and forth with where our ceremony will be. I really love the idea of an outdoor ceremony, but due to uncertainty we may go with our original plan of Willard Chapel. The people who have the other side of the pavilion won't call me back and tell me if they plan on having the ceremony there, what time their reception starts, etc. I'd hate to be doing our ceremony and have their guests showing or something. I'm going to look at Willard Chapel with my Mom on Friday. I've been there once but would like to get a closer look and take pictures. Markus has to work M-F, and the only days they are open are M-F of course. Ugh. He won't have a weekday off until mid-February so he said I could book it and he would see it later.

Next big things to conquer:
-florist
-DJ
-cake
-tuxes/suits?
-bridesmaid dresses
