week 2 of engagement!!

k so now that we've been engaged for 2 weeks things are really starting to go crazy. Who knew that photographers get booked like 1.5 years in advanced!!! Last night Ed and I looked at a LOT of wedding photographers and ended up emailing about 15 of them. At least 5 have replied so far saying that they're already booked for our wedding day!!! Here is what we have done so far!!

-Booked Venue: Mayfair Lakes Golf Course in Richmond for July 11th 2009
-Bought party favors!!!!
-Made prototype of center-piece and started buying materials for it (SO not done buying materials for all 17 center-pieces!!).
-Scheduled consultations with 5 photographers for the next 2 weeks.
-Made an appointment to order my wedding dress!!
-Set a date to get engagement pictures taken (Sept 27th)!!
-Scheduled 2 consultations with wedding invitation companies in October.
-Scheduled 2 consultations with florists in October.
-Scheduled a consultation/booking day with a decoration/rental company.
-Decided who will be doing our cake (Gyneth!!)
-Decided to go to the Vancouver Wedding Show (November 1st).

I can't wait to have all these things booked and done with. It's so much work just DECIDING who to book for certain things!!!!! With other things it's just MAKING TIME to go meet up with companies to book things. It's a lot of work but IT'S BEEN SOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!! I can't believe I'm actually finally planning my wedding!!! I should have went into the wedding business (make invitations or photography or SOMETHING) cuz it's so much fun and the money is REALLY there!!!! Still can't believe things are booked so well in advanced!!!!! No wonder most people are engaged for more than a year!
