Hey Laughwithme! We're Wedding Day AND Bachelorette Party Twins! Too cool!

I'm 99% done. The only things I have left are setting up the ballroom the night before and getting the marriage license. What can I say, I'm a project leader for a living.

ringbearer fitting (Groom and GM have been fitted, except 1 - annoying)
3rd dress fitting, then pick-up dress 1 - 2 wks before wedding
finalize rehearsal time
finalize flower order w/florist (1 month before)
cook for bridal tea luncheon
one more hair trial
assemble welcome bags
