Progress!

So in the past week and a bit Ian and I have made great amounts of progress on wedding things, and this makes me VERY happy.

First: Ian made HUGE headway with the caterer! He managed to negotiate so that we could get the guy we wanted, the food we wanted for the price we wanted. I knew there was a reason I was marrying this guy! So the cheque is in the mail for a deposit and it appears that we might actually be able to feed our guests at our wedding. I like to think that's a good thing.

Second: Cake - Ian has been in touch with our recipe creator, ya we have one of those. She is getting to work on what will be the top tier of our wedding cake. This is cake that is Ian and Jen friendly. The best part? There will be a tasting soon! I like tastings.

Side Note: I still can't choose a design for our cake... it seems all the ones I've seen pictures of are ugly. Anyone got any pics of not ugly cakes?

Third: I ordered our favours! They will require some assembly when they arrive... but they are on their way. Maybe I can coax some bridesmaids into a night of favour making with a bottle of wine? Or two? How about wine and cheese?

Fourth: Invitations are coming together nicely, the rest of the materials have been shipped and should arrive within the next couple of days. Added Bonus - I'm actually on budget!

Fifth: (I'm shocked there is a fifth thing too!) Ian and I have come to some sort of agreement on the timeline for the day which means he can start negotiating with a photographer (we even have one in mind that we both like!!!!).

So my hopes of getting the wedding mostly planned by the time I go back to school is not actually that far off. I know I still have a long way to go but.... so far so good! Added Bonus #2: we still actually want to marry each other!
