9 months until the birth of our wedding!

Wow, we're into single-digit months now! And it just so happened that yesterday was the open house for our wedding venue, Pine Rose Cabins. The last time we were there in April, there was still snow on the ground and everything was covered in a thick layer of ice. So needless to say, we were eager to see what the place will (hopefully...) look like for our June wedding. Thank goodness that now I have a much clearer image in my mind of the whole set-up than I had previously, which means I don't think I'll be spending as much on decorations as I was anticipating since the natural surroundings need little help...

So let's see how my master to-do list is going...

1. Venue - check!

2. Dress - check!

3. Bridesmaid dresses - check! but still need shoes and the flower girl dress

4. Save-the-dates & invitations - check! and will order the invites later

5. Catering - going to our tasting in two weeks!

6. Cake - I know what I want, and going to tastings after the menu is confirmed

7. Music - talked with the DJ at the event, will probably book him soon

8. Drinks - talked with the bartender, have to decide on buying our own stuff vs. his package
9. Photographer - talked with one, waiting to hear back from another

10. Flowers - need to call, and thus be forced to decide on colors

11. Favors - we have a super awesome idea in the works :)

12. Cabins - so far 2 are reserved, still waiting to hear if we need to reserve another for more family members

13. Honeymoon - ... well, depends on if we'll have enough money left over to survive after the wedding, haha.

It looks like I have a lot of phone calls to make, but at least some progress has been made!
