countdown to celebration
there are less than 24 weeks till the big day and my mind is still focused on minutae details of our celebration "of love". How cheesy is that..anyways - what should a bride with six months left be thinking about if she hasn't already?



Last weekend's Hawaii Bridal Expo was an extravaganza of wedding vendors ready to calm even the most nervous brides. I didn't go - what? didn't go to the expo - maybe the last one before the big day?? nope - been there done that...I'm on enough mailing lists and have already made vendor selections - so the expo was not on my to do list....several other brides in the office did their shopping there and were quite successful though- even taking their fiance's along - getting ideas for cake design, invitations and miscellanea.



here are my top 5 items:
1. bridal attire - scheduling fittings, design sessions, etc.
2. pairing down the guest list - and collecting snail mail addresses or emails
3. making my wine - so it has more time for aging...
4. finalizing - floor plan and equipment rental needs
5. finessing the catering menu and plan
