Needless to say, this process is very intense and stressful. I'm lucky to have a fiance who wants to help and be a part of the wedding planning. I do not know what I would do if Edd was not here helping make decisions!
We checked out our first venue option tonight. It was Creekside in Gahanna, Ohio. They have a very nice location overlooking a river...the only negative was we thought the space was too narrow and too enclosed. I would like a space that is very wide open and has high ceilings.
We are putting all options in a cool spreadsheet in order to figure out financials. (Thanks Mike!) If anyone knows the Vilt brothers-they know they are born to be planners!
I have my first appointment to try on dresses with my mom and sister in September! I'm so excited to see what Pat Catan has to offer! There are a lot of places in Columbus that I would like to try as well-so the dress hunt begins!
We have tentatively decided for September 18th-but that solely depends on our venue and whether or not they have that date available. We will definitely keep everyone posted!
A couple of our friends gave us some books to read about weddings. There is a groom's book that Eddie has actually started reading tonight. :) too funny!
Everyone was very shocked when I stated I had my wedding book all put together already. Just to clarify-I have the basics in there. It is not an extensive book yet. Mostly all the information that I gathered from the bridal show on Sunday.
Also-I have focused my efforts on Bridal Bootcamp for myself. I have 12 months and 2 weeks...the countdown to chiseled arms. :)
That's it for now! Have a great week everyone!
Edd & D.

Hey! Cute idea with the blog. I'm glad to see you have a dress shopping apt. already. It really never is too soon with how long it takes them to sew and ship those things! In case you are interested, there is this new wedding boutique shop in the short north called Big Rock Little Rooster and I have been eyeing it up (running past it daily) for about the last month that is has been open. They always have amazing dresses in the window (they carry vera!). So, if you want to go (and who doesn't want to try on vera?) you better let me come with!:) Here is a web address to a Columbus Alive piece on the store...
