I am just like both of you as well :) I have been booking things as fast as I could, and most vendors have said "wow you are quite the early planner!" My vendors have allowed me to get this years rates as well, or already had pricing for
2010.
Some people I know that are getting married after me don't even have as much done as me! I know what I want, I do not change my mind easily, why not just get it done!
One of my BMs (my best friend) was actually telling me the other day how she thinks I am smart for getting things done so early, so that way, there is less stress closer to the wedding!
