Summer ''10 (June, July, August) brides-how we doing?

[Lanie]

Ahhh...I remember these days. Back when I had 12 months left. I had so much done at the beginning so I wouldn't have to scramble around 2 weeks before the wedding.

And what am I doing?

Exactly.

 

[Prana]

haha Lanie- I had everything booked 12 months before the wedding (I''m 10 months away now!) and I have a feeling I will still be scrambling.

OK, so progress has been made!

We booked our venue for 7/10/10, booked the caterer (through the venue) and got a room block. I called the on site salon and got my bridemaids and I penciled in for the morning of the wedding.

Woo! Yay for a date and location!

No--it''s their property out in Troutdale in the Gorge. We''ll be getting married in this garden:
