Wedding Planning..or Money Sucking???

Well I just have to say.. this Wedding Planning business is quite the process! After one week and two days of being engaged and making phone calls the reality is, a wedding is a money sucker! Everyone says I have "plenty of time" but come to find out.. the photographer I got is now booked for August. Yes, I got his last spot! Luckily, my date was the last one he had open. The Venues are a problem as well. I guess living in Utah and getting married in "wedding season" has its downside. I'm not losing hope though. I have made small progresses. I have a great photographer and I have an AWESOME dress!!! At least I think so. I'm not giving too many details though... it just has to be a surprise. For those of you who have seen it... no telling! We are excited and hopefully this $1,000 here and $1,000 there won't get to us. I have plenty more to plan and being the organized person I am you'd think I'd have it down, but really, I feel its more like organized chaos! Wish me luck!! I will keep ya posted... and hopefully some pics to post. Thanks to all of you who are so happy and excited for us. It really means a lot! Love ya!
